Using DNA metabarcoding to describe biodiversity and disease dynamics

Creator:: Massey, Aimee L.
Abstract:: Land-use change, particularly in the form of the conversion of primary forest to forest-matrix systems, alters species communities and species interactions. Describing these often complex and nuanced species responses is one of the great challenges in ecology. Another complementary challenge is finding and using the most efficient means for collecting...
