Hidden diversity: DNA metabarcoding reveals hyper-diverse benthic invertebrate communities
Abstract Background Freshwater ecosystems, such as streams, are facing increasing pressures from agricultural land use and recent literature stresses the importance of robust biomonitoring to detect trends in insect decline globally. Aquatic insects and other macroinvertebrates are often used as ind...
