A Comparative Analysis of DNA Metabarcoding and Morphological Identification in Diatoms Reveals Similar Patterns of Environmental Response This study compares the use of two universal molecular markers (COI and 18S rRNA) with morphological identification to evaluate patterns in diatom communities from high mountain mires. The results re...
