Tyne River Macroinvertebrates 2020

Dataset homepage

Citation

Newcastle University (2021). Tyne River Macroinvertebrates 2020. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/gerjpg accessed via GBIF.org on 2023-02-05.

Description

Macroinvertebrates collected by kick sample from the River Tyne at NZ 107 645 on 6 November 2020 by John Bythell Sequence data to be submitted to BOLD.

Purpose

Opportunistic sampling to research molecular barcoding applications.

Sampling Description

Quality Control

Submissions here only include samples that were reliably identified to species level by the molecular barcode (>99% identification reliability on BOLD https://v4.boldsystems.org/) Molecular ID was only deemed reliable if consistent with UKSI-listed species.

Method steps

  1. Representative individuals of a combined kick-sample of invertebrates were sorted, photographed and individually dissected to collect tissue samples for molecular barcoding using cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) gene amplification using standard Folmer primers (Folmer et al 1994 Mol Mar Biol Biotechnol. 3(5):294-9) and BF2/BR2 primers ( Elbrecht & Leese (2017) Front. Environ. Sci., https://doi.org/10.3389/fenvs.2017.00011). Sequencing was carried out in both directions to create consensus assembly sequence up to 658 bp.
