- Validation and Development of COI Metabarcoding Primers for Freshwater Macroinvertebrate Bioassessment (2017, unknown): “However, accurate species-level identification of freshwater macroinvertebrates can be difficult for larval specimens, often leading to low taxonomic resolution or misidentifications (Haase et al., 2010; Sweeney et al., 2011).”
- Taxonomic sufficiency in freshwater ecosystems: effects of taxonomic resolution, functional traits, and data transformation (2013, background): “Several authors and monitoring protocols regard species-level identifica- tion (Maurer 2000, Giagrande 2003, Drew 2011), identification of subspecies (Schaumburg et al. 2007), or DNA-based identification methods (e.g., Sweeney et al. 2011) as most appropriate in this context.”
- Assessing strengths and weaknesses of DNA metabarcoding‐based macroinvertebrate identification for routine stream monitoring (2017, background): “Consistent with our observations, higher taxonomic resolution of DNA-based methods in comparison with morphology-based identification has been demonstrated in many previous studies (Baird & Sweeney 2011; Sweeney et al. 2011; Stein et al. 2013a; Gibson et al. 2015).”
- Cryptic Biodiversity in Streams: A Comparison of Macroinvertebrate Communities Based on Morphological and DNA Barcode Identifications (2014, background): “In the most similar effort, investigators examined 1579 benthic macroinvertebrates from 2 sites in a small stream (White Clay Creek [WCC]) in southeastern Pennsylvania (PA) at about the same altitude but >3500 km east of the streams in our study (Sweeney et al. 2011).”
