TL;DR: Analysis of taxonomic inferences of benthic macroinvertebrate samples of known taxonomic composition obtained using alternative metabarcoding protocols prove metabarcode valid for environmental status assessment and will contribute to accelerating the implementation of this technique to regular monitoring programs.

TL;DR: This work shows, using available sequence data, that information about presence/absence of the most frequently occurring species provides accurate AMBI values, which has direct implications for a faster and cheaper marine monitoring and health status assessment.

TL;DR: This paper aims to compare, review and discuss the strengths and limitations of four general implementation strategies of environmental genomics for monitoring, and proposes a roadmap for the implementation of environmentalgenomics into routine monitoring programmes that leverage recent analytical advancements.

TL;DR: Using the relative abundance of putative indicator bacterial taxa, a biotic index is developed that is significantly correlated with a sediment quality index calculated on the basis of organic and inorganic compound concentrations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied DNA metabarcoding methodologies at stations within the monitoring network of the Basque Water Agency, the competent authority for the application of the European Water Framework Directive in this region.
