If you have any questions about this product, it’s suitability for your project, or anything else, book a free consultation with one of our molecular ecologists.
TaxaReveal™ Invertebrates characterises freshwater macroinvertebrate assemblages from eDNA water samples or mixed specimens collected from kick-sampling. It provides community composition data comparable to traditional kick-sampling with substantially higher taxonomic resolution in groups where morphological identification to species level is not routine practice.
Target locus: Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI).
Taxonomic scope: Aquatic macroinvertebrates including EPT taxa (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera), Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Diptera, Odonata, Crustacea, Mollusca, Oligochaeta, and Hirudinea. Meiofaunal taxa recoverable with supplementary 18S amplification. Reference completeness is high for EPT in European fauna; Diptera and Oligochaeta assignments should be expected at family level for some lineages.
