Starting to process 8838 records from DNA barcoding of #Malaise specimens by CBG (#CentreForBiodiversityGenomics for #InternationalBarcodeOfLifeConsortium). All records are for my garden in Aranda, ACT.

First some caveats. CBG pulls ~200 specimens from each sample, trying to maximise divesity and representativeness. These are then imaged and processed to try to get the COI DNA barcode region. Specimen selection will not be unbiased and the pipeline will be less effective for some groups.
