Taxonomic Blind Spots: A Limitation of Environmental DNA Metabarcoding‐Based Detection for Canadian Freshwater Fishes by Kevin C. Morey, Erika Myler, Robert Hanner, Gerald Tetreault

“…To explore this, a multiproject empirical dataset was compiled and analyzed to evaluate the taxonomic coverage of eDNA metabarcoding for a subset of Canadian freshwater fishes using a standardized workflow for two genetic markers: 12S MiFish‐U and Vertebrate COI. The compiled dataset consists of species lists generated by eDNA surveys, paired conventional surveys, and historical records. …”
