Abstract Freshwater ponds host diverse arthropod communities, but conservation frameworks are scarce. Heterogeneous pond mosaics of various sizes and successional stages can develop during raw material extraction in mining sites, acting as refugia for a variety species. Here, we investigate diversity status across lakes sites; analyze how water body size, age, vegetation cover affect patterns; discuss results contribute to management actions schemes. Using environmental DNA metabarcoding,...
Biodiversity monitoring increasingly relies on molecular methods such as eDNA metabarcoding. However, sound applications have so far been only established for a limited number of taxonomic groups. More information the strengths and weaknesses methods, especially poorly covered groups, is essential practical to achieve highest possible reliability. We compared amphibian Odonata data from metabarcoding traditional transect walks N = 56 plots in 38 water bodies distributed over six extraction...
