Grab what you can—an evaluation of spatial replication to decrease heterogeneity in sediment eDNA metabarcoding
Environmental DNA methods such as metabarcoding have been suggested as possible alternatives or complements to the current practice of morphology-based diversity assessment for characterizing benthic communities in marine sediment. However, the source volume used in sediment eDNA studies is several...
