Separating Faces in ARMS Metabarcoding Improves Marine Biodiversity Monitoring: A Comparison Across Protocols, Experimental Designs and Photographic Surveys

Monitoring marine biodiversity requires approaches that capture its full complexity through space and time. DNA metabarcoding coupled with Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) is increasingly used for this purpose, yet most applications still pool all sessile fractions and rarely benchmark molecular ouputs agai...
