DNA metabarcoding of mites from small soil samples: limited agreement with morphological identifications but improved results from long-read sequencing The characterization of soil mite (Acari) communities traditionally follows morphological identifications of specimens extracted from soil, which is a highly laborious and time-consuming process. Meta...

New fungal phylum-level system, with red font indicating novel taxa and size taxonomic diversity.

Fungal phylum-level classification update now available! Used "innovative taxonomy" to describe >100 taxa, from species to phylum, based on long reads, characteristic nucleotides and env-samples.
