Efficient assessment of nocturnal flying insect communities by combining automatic light traps and DNA metabarcoding

Abstract Increasing evidence for global insect declines is prompting a renewed interest in the survey of whole insect communities. DNA metabarcoding can contribute to assessing diverse insect communities over a range of spatial and temporal scales, but efforts are still needed to optimize and standa...
