Three sampling strategies reveal spatial and methodological patterns in macroinvertebrate diversity in freshwater habitats

Summary Assessing macroinvertebrate diversity is crucial for freshwater ecosystem management. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has emerged as a powerful, non-invasive tool that complements conventional morphological methods. In this study, we compared morphological sampling, ethanol-derived eDNA from preserved sp...
