Homogenization of insect bulk samples yields more comprehensive yet comparable biodiversity data than non-destructive lysis The rapid advancement of molecular biodiversity monitoring tools, particularly DNA metabarcoding, has improved specimen identification in bulk samples, such as those from Malaise traps, where traditio...

Can insect bulk samples be used in #metabarcoding without homogenising them? Our research shows: it’s technically possible but yields poorer data and is more expensive and time-consuming.
