Exploring the potential of the COI gene marker for DNA barcoding of planktonic foraminifera

Abstract Metabarcoding is a cornerstone of modern ecology, but its accuracy is dependent on the chosen gene marker. While the small subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU) is a powerful tool to describe protist diversity, its reliability in retrieving the composition of communities is less obvious. It is partic...
