Analysis of tissue dependent DNA yield for optimal sampling of micro-moths in large-scale biodiversity surveys

DNA barcoding surveys of small insects usually extract DNA from either a complete insect or a leg. Little is known about how to optimize DNA quantity and quality from different insect parts while preserving a morphological voucher. Here, we quantify DNA yield from different body parts (antenna, hind...
