Evaluating sediment and water sampling methods for the estimation of deep-sea biodiversity using environmental DNA
Abstract Despite representing one of the largest biomes on earth, biodiversity of the deep seafloor is still poorly known. Environmental DNA metabarcoding offers prospects for fast inventories and surveys, yet requires standardized sampling approaches and careful choice of environmental substrate. H...
