The power of metabarcoding: Can we improve bioassessment and biodiversity surveys of stream macroinvertebrate communities?
Most stream bioassessment and biodiversity surveys are currently based on morphological identification of communities. However, DNA metabarcoding is emerging as a fast and cost-effective alternative for species identification. We compared both methods in a survey of benthic macroinve...
