A study on a statistical modeling approach to account for species detection errors in environmental DNA metabarcoding has been published online in Methods in Ecology and Evolution.

We proposed a novel class of the multispecies site occupancy model to estimate false negatives that occur in the process of species detection by environmental DNA metabarcoding. The model allows us to account for imperfect detection of species in the assessment of species diversity and design efficient surveys.
