Environmental Status Assessment Using DNA Metabarcoding: Towards a Genetics Based Marine Biotic Index (gAMBI)
Marine ecosystem protection and conservation initiatives rely on the assessment of ecological integrity and health status of marine environments. The AZTI's Marine Biotic Index (AMBI), which consists on using macroinvertebrate diversity as indicator of ecosystem health, is used worldwide for this purpose. Yet, this index requires taxonomic assignment of specimens, which typically involves a tim...
متن کاملEcological assessment of Mel e Gonzeh mangrove forest by AZTI's Marine Biotic Index
AMBI is an ecological marine ecosystem indicator, which provides a more intelligent assessment of ecosystems of sensitivity and resilience, and ecological role, compared to famous diversity and dominance. This study assesses ecosystem health status from the AMBI's perspective by examining the distribution and biodiversity of macrobenthoses from mangrove of Mel-e-Gonzeh in the Bushehr province. ...
متن کاملNext-generation monitoring of aquatic biodiversity using environmental DNA metabarcoding.
Global biodiversity in freshwater and the oceans is declining at high rates. Reliable tools for assessing and monitoring aquatic biodiversity, especially for rare and secretive species, are important for efficient and timely management. Recent advances in DNA sequencing have provided a new tool for species detection from DNA present in the environment. In this study, we tested whether an enviro...
متن کاملBenchmarking DNA Metabarcoding for Biodiversity-Based Monitoring and Assessment
Characterization of biodiversity has been extensively used to confidently monitor and assess environmental status. Yet, visual morphology, traditionally and widely used for species identification in coastal and marine ecosystem communities, is tedious and entails limitations. Metabarcoding coupled with high-throughput sequencing (HTS) represents an alternative to rapidly, accurately, and cost-e...
