Pooling size sorted Malaise trap fractions to maximize taxon recovery with metabarcoding

Pooling size sorted Malaise trap fractions to maximize taxon recovery with metabarcoding

Background Small and rare specimens can remain undetected when metabarcoding is applied on bulk samples with a high specimen size heterogeneity. This is especially critical for Malaise trap samples, where most of the biodiversity is contributed by small taxa with low biomass. The separation of sampl...
