| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Using high-throughput Next-generation Sequencing (NGS), we rapidly assessed species richness of stream macroinvertebrate communities among 10 sites in the Shigenobu River catchment in Ehime Prefecture Japan. A conventional morphological taxonomic identification found 64 taxa among 8921 individuals collected from the catchment. Our NGS analysis produced 165,508 reads of mitochondrial COI amplicons. Based on DNA barcoding analysis of the NGS data, 39,337 was hit and 128 species were identified. Further, we found a significant positive correlation between numbers of sequence reads and morphology-based abundance among 33 taxonomic groups (1 class, 3 orders, and 30 families). We also applied DNA taxonomy analysis using PTP model, and the presence of 298 species in the catchment was estimated.
