Validating metabarcoding-based biodiversity assessments with multi-species occupancy models: A case study using coastal marine eDNA.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is an increasingly popular method for rapid biodiversity assessment. As with any ecological survey, false negatives can arise during sampling and, if unaccounted for, lead to biased results and potentially misdiagnosed environmental assessments. We developed a...
