Metabarcoding Malaise traps and soil eDNA reveals seasonal and local arthropod diversity shifts

Abstract Forest habitats host enormous diversity, but little is known about the seasonal turnover of arthropod species between the above- and below ground forest layers. In this study, we used metabarcoding approaches to uncover arthropod diversity in different forest types and seasons. Our study sh...
