Performance of DNA metabarcoding, standard barcoding, and morphological approach in the identification of host-parasitoid interactions.

Performance of DNA metabarcoding, standard barcoding, and morphological approach in the identification of host-parasitoid interactions.

Understanding interactions between herbivores and parasitoids is essential for successful biodiversity protection and monitoring and for biological pest control. Morphological identifications employ insect rearing and are complicated by insects' high diversity and crypsis. DNA barcoding has bee...
