We then tested the match of our used forward primer (BF2) sequence against all the available OTUs showing that the primer matched to > 98.5% of the OTUs without a single mismatch, supporting a generally good match. Both primer sets were 5′ nucleotide tagged with 6–8 nucleotide tags (Binladen et al., 2007). The Peace–Athabasca Delta is North America’s largest inland delta, within a World Heritage area, and is currently threatened by human development. 203, pp 181–190, Gibson JF, Shokralla S, Curry C, Baird DJ, Monk WA, King I, Hajibabaei M (2015) Large-scale biomonitoring of remote and threatened ecosystems via high-throughput sequencing. This targeted the CO1 amplicon using two complementary primers, BE/BR5 and F230R (30, 59). 2014, Hausmann et al. and you may need to create a new Wiley Online Library account. Furthermore, the options of PCR-free methods such as mitochondrial metagenomics [10] might greatly improve biomass and abundance estimations, but need to be studied further as there is scarce information on factors that influence the number of mitochondria per unit of biomass (season, life stage, active versus inactive species). A contingency table of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) by samples was created for each primer set, and copy numbers of OTUs were normalized across samples. Among the macroinvertebrate taxa in the experiment, the Chironomidae were the most abundant group (59,325 specimens, 59.6% of all specimens), and due to their sheer abundance, they were identified morphologically only to family level. Therefore, both abundance and presence/absence of each taxon were used in the morphological dataset, while presence/absence of each species was used in the DNA metabarcoding dataset, in which 1 represents presence and 0 represents absence. no.

As the prey densities were available for only a subset of the prey species detected in our data, viz.

The sequence data have been deposited in GenBank (see Data Availability). As such, fewer prey sequences could be assigned when using the COI primer set (Figure 2b), with obvious consequences for prey detection power.

Power of DNA Gpa was compared to DNA Fpa and CABIN Fpa approaches by aggregating genera to the family level and subsequently applying the family-level detection probabilities.

Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 360(1462):1847–1857. The experiment ran for 46 days (24-day colonization, 22-day manipulative period). Thus, our study highlights the power of increased taxonomic resolution and adds ecological information made accessible by metabarcoding. Interestingly, this estimate was still short of the richness observed using metabarcoding (n = 109), and based on the distribution of detection probabilities, the DNA Fpa and Gpa models estimated the metacommunity could potentially contain 130 families and 360 genera, a 19% and 37% increase (SI Appendix, Fig. OTU 1 was well represented in both of the study’s microhabitats, streambed, and leaf litter, which is in agreement with the described broad range of microhabitats for R. fuscipes (stones, gravels, plants, coarse detritus, sandy bottoms; reviewed in [44]). While field and laboratory protocols have remained consistent since the study began, there have been a number of advances made in bioinformatic tools, as well as expansion of the reference sequence libraries supporting the identification of taxa (60).

Based on historical monitoring data, we selected 25 sites in second‐ to third‐order wadeable streams representing gradients of total phosphorus (TP) and total nitrogen (TN). The DNA metabarcoding dataset explained the least variation, a consequence of increased complexity when the number of species increases, because species responds differently. jagsUI: A wrapper around ‘rjags’ to streamline ‘JAGS’ analyses.

This indicates that the Andes act as a barrier for dispersal, at least for female vampire bats. Finally, prey detected in an individual bat might not be prey that was directly preyed upon by the bat itself as common vampire bats regurgitate and share bloodmeals with roost mates that did not manage to feed (Wilkinson, 1984).

Bats at the three collection sites in the western slopes of the Andes in northern Peru were the only ones to harbour the third COI haplotype (Figure 4).

Elbrecht V, Peinert B, Leese F (2017) Sorting things out-assessing effects of unequal specimen biomass on DNA metabarcoding. In addition, detectability using DNA metabarcoding is intrinsically linked to the genetic primer used , and the importance of primer bias is well known from mock laboratory samples (e.g., ref. Boosted regression trees showed that relative abundances of gene sequence reads for OTUs identified by TITAN as low P, high P, low N, or high N diatoms had strong relationships with nutrient concentrations, which provided support for potentially using these groups of diatoms as metrics in monitoring programs.

Diatoms are particularly useful because they are a highly diverse group of unicellular algae found in nearly all aquatic environments and are sensitive responders to increased nutrient concentrations. This suggests that diatom metrics using relative abundances of gene sequence reads could be readily incorporated into monitoring programs. Dietary metabarcoding was highly effective, detecting vertebrate prey in 93.2% of the samples.

The primers are from here on referred to as 16s and COI. Since the highest contaminant concentrations are typically found in the inlet (Allen, Haynes, & Arthur, 2017), the samples serve as a proxy for detecting contamination within the ponds. However, it is very likely that the applied stressors had an indirect effect on most chironomid OTUs rather than a direct physiological effect.

The authors declare that they have no competing interests.

Even though the larvae are scarce in stagnant water, they are known to thrive well in stretches with a slow flow when enough decomposing material and silt is available [44]. Prior to the final NMDS ordination, the autopilot mode initially selected three axes for the best solution. R package Version 1.4.9).

In addition, three bloodmeal samples from hairy‐legged vampire bat (Diphylla ecaudata) collected in the MDD134 site were processed. Sytematische, ökologische und faunistische Untersuchngen. Using the same data, we document mitochondrial geographic population structure in the common vampire bat in Peru. Therefore, it is imperative that future research and monitoring apply DNA metabarcoding to ensure that bioassessments do not underestimate the differences in species‐specific responses to environmental factors. Our study indicates that consumption of arthropods by common vampire bats is a widespread and relatively common phenomenon. For bloodmeal samples, three punches of 3‐mm diameter were collected from FTA cards and extracted using the Qiagen Investigator Kit (protocol: Isolation of DNA from fta and guthrie cards, version 2). With the variety of stressor response patterns found here, this study adds further support that Chironomidae specimens should not be treated as one taxon in biomonitoring programs and stressor research. 2006, Potapova and Charles 2007, Stevenson 2014), and changes in their assemblage structure have important consequences for primary production and food webs in stream ecosystems. were supported by the Kurt Eberhard Bode Foundation (GeneStream project). Samples were extracted with Qiagen DNeasy PowerLyzer PowerSoil kits (Germantown, Maryland, USA) following the manufacturer’s instruction, except for an added initial digestion with proteinase K at 56°C for at least 2 h. DNA extractions were quantified using PicoGreen on a BioTek Microplate Reader (Winooski, Vermont, USA) and normalized to 10 ng/µL for polymerase chain reaction (PCR). © 2020 BioMed Central Ltd unless otherwise stated. 2019).

1). S8). These effects were reversed at increased salinity, i.e., OTU 17 increased upon flow reduction and fine sediment addition and decreased when all three stressors were present. (2007) also demonstrated that the loadings of sediments with pollutants are relatively stable over time. Molecular genetic data are available in GenBank under BioProject ID PRJNA592969 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/592969). The new study, published in the journal mSystems , demonstrates that dietary plant DNA can be amplified and sequenced from human …

The PCR primers in this round of PCR had 5′ adapter sequences (5′‐ACACTGACGACATGGTTCTACA‐3′ and 5′TACGGTAGCAGAGACTTGGTCT‐3′) for use in the second round of PCR (dual indexing).

The statistical distributions of the parameters governing occupancy and detectability shared by the community were used to consider the possibility of other taxa in the metacommunity that were not recorded in any visit to any site, a process known as data augmentation (48, 62). S1.12) may also indicate differential environmental responses (38, 39). Common species, such as Libellula quadrimaculata, exhibited the same responses to the environmental variables for the two methods, in which they were positively correlated with the pond size and pollution level in the sediment, but negatively correlated with the pollution level in the water column. As a result, we trained four hierarchical MSOMs for each data type: 1) counts of macroinvertebrate families from CABIN (CABIN Fcount), 2) the presence–absence of macroinvertebrate families from CABIN (CABIN Fpa), 3) the presence–absence of macroinvertebrate families from DNA data (DNA Fpa), and 4) the presence–absence of macroinvertebrate genera from DNA data (DNA Gpa).

Our results firmly challenge that traditional perspective, and if we wish to understand the resilience of the PAD, we must adopt a metacommunity perspective (55). In general, diatom assemblages had gradual but substantial changes from approximately 280 to 850 µg TN/L (Fig. However, Diptera in these studies were identified to genus, subfamily, or family level only. In contrast to the count-based model, the presence–absence models all suggested taxon site occupancy was below 1 (Fig. Since a 4–5% threshold has been suggested to be appropriate to delineate species of the chironomid genus Tanytarsus [39], we carried out a second analysis using a combination of Usearch (v10.0.240; [14]) and Vsearch (v2.8.1; [60]) with a 5% clustering threshold to obtain a more conservative estimation of the actual number of species. Moreover, even when using a much more conservative OTU clustering threshold of 5% that has been suggested to be more appropriate for Chironomidae species delimitation [39], still, 142 OTUs are found to co-exist in this stream.
