Can insect bulk samples be used in #metabarcoding without homogenising them? Our research shows: it’s technically possible but yields poorer data and is more expensive and time-consuming. Paper out now: @mbmg.pensoft.net mbmg.pensoft.net/article/1298... @leeselab.bsky.social #nondestructivelysis

Homogenization of insect bulk samples yields more comprehensive yet comparable biodiversity data than non-destructive lysis The rapid advancement of molecular biodiversity monitoring tools, particularly DNA metabarcoding, has improved specimen identification in bulk samples, such as those from Malaise traps, where traditio... https://mbmg.pensoft.net/article/129814/
