Improved freshwater macroinvertebrate detection from environmental DNA through minimized nontarget amplification

Abstract DNA metabarcoding of freshwater communities typically relies on PCR amplification of a fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene with degenerate primers. The advantage of COI is its taxonomic resolution and the availability of an extensive reference database. However,...
