Special Session - Environmental Barcoding: Genomic Solutions for Biomonitoring
The technique of DNA barcoding is revitalizing many areas of biology, and now researchers are beginning to investigate its practical applications in benthic science. This session will bring together scientists at the forefront of these developments to report on this rapidly progressing field, including new advances in laboratory techniques, field studies and future prospects.
