Abstract

Significance: Ecological and evolutionary investigations require accurate and high-resolution biodiversity information. Conventional morphological approaches to identifying species in species-rich tropical ecosystems are often unavailable or incapable of timely, cost-effective identification. We show that next-generation sequencing (NGS) of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) DNA barcodes can accurately detect 83.5% of individually sequenced species (corresponding to 91% of individuals) in a bulk sample of terrestrial arthropods from a Costa Rican species-rich site. Additionally, the 16S and 18S ribosomal DNA gene regions obtained also provide an assessment of the bacteria and protozoa in the bulk sample. This metasystematic approach provides the initial infrastructure for a next generation of biodiversity assessment and environmental monitoring. It can lead to more effective understanding, appreciation, and management of complex ecosystems.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
