West KM, Stat M, Harvey ES, et al. eDNA metabarcoding survey reveals fine-scale coral reef community variation across a remote, tropical island ecosystem. Mol Ecol. 2020;29:1069–1086. https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.15382 accessed via GBIF.org on 2024-12-11.Description
A total of six 1 L seawater replicates were sampled from 42 sites in and around the main Cocos (Keeling) Islands atoll in April 2017, totalling 252 samples across a 140 km2 area. Samples were obtained from six different habitats zones based on habitat classifications generated from prior environmental surveys. The four metabarcoding assays run across 252 seawater eDNA extracts yielded a total of 61,219,212 sequencing reads, leading to 372 identifiable taxa, representing 110 families within 40 orders.
