Despite a clear trend for increased use of wocDNA COI metabarcoding, the field remains in a relatively early stage of implementation, reflected in the fact that in half of all papers ( n = 56, n = 38 in the last 4 years) metabarcoding was undertaken as a proof‐of‐concept and the authors primarily discussed the feasibility of this method for the studied ecological system.
