Comment from AW about the following sentence:

This is the case for most metagenomics, metabarcoding and eDNA studies.

Comment:

I am not sure if this holds really true for MOST metabarcoding studies. There are many studies utilizing only part of a specimen, or even the fixative of a bulk sample. As such, the potential specimen can be located in a bulk sample, but I agree that no safe link between specimen and sequence exists (contrary to as when DNA barcoding a single specimen).
