Sources of uncertainty in DNA metabarcoding of whole communities: Implications for its use in biomonitoring by J. Iwan Jones, Amanda Arnold, Dominik Buchner, John F. Murphy, Jasmine N. Childress, Pedro Beja, Florian Altermatt, Kristian Meissner, Ian Adams, Meri Anderson, Yaisel J. Borrell, Andrew G. Briscoe, Kat Bruce, Cátia Chaves, Chris Conyers, Kristy Deiner, Vasco Elbrecht, Álvaro Fueyo, Tim Goodall, Javier Granero‐Castro, Cristina Hartmann‐Fatu, Eleanor Jones, Elvira Mächler, Filipa M. S. Martins, Sam McGreig, Lyndall Pereira‐da‐Conceicoa, James L. Pretty, Daniel S. Read, Ben Price, Florian Leese, Rosetta C. Blackman

“…Furthermore, the performance of the DNA‐based method varied among samples, most likely due to differences in the composition of the invertebrate community. Logistic regression indicated that detectability did not vary among taxa, but that taxa occurring in low abundance (less than five individuals in our samples) were more likely to be missed via metabarcoding. …”

The effect of gamification on brand co-creation in app-based businesses: investigating the mediating role of consumer engagement and the moderating role of hedonic and innovativene... by Rayhane Rezagholizade, Zahra Sadeqi-Arani, Esmail Mazroui

“…In the relationship between gamification and consumer engagement, the consumer hedonic and innovativeness variables play a moderating role. The path coefficient of the consumer innovativeness is equal to (-0.092), and its test statistic is equal to 2.014; which shows the negative effect of this relationship; since the test statistic is more than the critical value (1.96), it can be said that this effect is significant. …”
