Community composition of hard-bottom macroinvertebrates in sevenregional seas as measured using traditional and metabarcoding methods

摘要: Community composition of hard-bottom macroinvertebrates in seven regional seas as measured using traditional and metabarcoding methods. •ASUs are promising devices to standardize sampling •Morphological identification at the class level can be easily reliably done by a single person even for very different environments. It does not provide such discriminatory power (at species level) • Metabarcoding mimic taxonomy but provides comparable results •We shall analyse influence environmental factors on this data set
