Sequencing the ant fauna of a small island: Can metagenomic analysis enable faster identification for routine ant surveys?

All known ant species from a small Western Australian island were subjected to DNA barcoding of the CO1 gene, with a view to using the database to identify ants by Next Generation Sequencing in subsequent, routine surveys. A further aim was to evaluate whether the data could be used to see if any ne...
