description
Invertebrate samples collected using Natural England survey protocols will be analysed using appropriate DNA techniques, to provide a comparison to traditional techniques (data will be supplied). Information will be collected to ascertain the following for each of the two methods:
| - | How reliable and accurate is the DNA species identification? |
| - | How much does each method cost (in time and money)? |
| - | How long does the identification process take? |
| - | Can abundance be inferred as part of DNA sequencing? |
In addition, the following questions should be addressed:
| - | How reliable is BOLD, or other databases available to the contractor, for undertaking invertebrate identification? A reference collection will not be made available. |
| - | Is there a need to review collection and storage methods for DNA sequencing of terrestrial invertebrates? |
