Ens parlarà de: «Morphology vs. DNA metabarcoding approaches in diatom analysis».

L'idioma d'aquest seminari serà l'anglès.

Resum

Diatoms are micro-algal freshwater indicators that can be used to infer water quality in paleoecological and limnological studies. However, current analyses are based on microscopic determinations, which are time consuming and may lead to some identification uncertainties. This study aims to contrast the information provided by other methodological approaches such as DNA metabarcoding using eukaryotic universal markers.
