Validation and Development of COI Metabarcoding Primers for Freshwater Macroinvertebrate Bioassessment (2017, unknown): “While many bioassessment protocols only require identification at higher taxonomic level (family, genus), it is highly beneficial to include precise species-level information, as even closely related species can show different tolerances to environmental stressors (Macher et al., 2016).”
Taxonomic and geographical representation of freshwater environmental DNA research in aquatic conservation (2019, background): “If standardized molecular operational taxonomic units (sensu Blaxter et al., 2005) are used for analysis, the effects of single or multiple stressors can be detected even for cryptic or undescribed species (Beermann et al., 2018; Macher et al., 2016).”
Assessing strengths and weaknesses of DNA metabarcoding‐based macroinvertebrate identification for routine stream monitoring (2017, background): “However, species within a higher taxonomic group may exhibit diverse responses to stress (Macher et al. 2016), and these differences can go unnoticed in studies with low taxonomic resolution.”
