Validating DNA metabarcoding for fragile Arctic gelatinous zooplankton

Two universal primer pairs, one targeting 18S rRNA, one mitochondrial COI, reveal complementary strengths and clear limitations for detecting fragile Arctic gelatinous zooplankton. The COI primers delivered high species-level resolution but missed key hydrozoans and ctenophores; 18S captured broader diversity but lacked taxonomic precision. These findings underscore the urgent need to expand public reference databases and explore new genetic markers. Understanding drives protection, and for these elusive organisms facing climate-driven shifts, validated tools are non-negotiable.
