Advances in DNA sequencing technology have revolutionized the field of molecular analysis
of trophic interactions, and it is now possible to recover counts of food DNA sequences from …

Dietary DNA metabarcoding enables researchers to identify and characterize trophic
interactions with a high degree of taxonomic precision. It is also sensitive to sources of bias …

The application of high‐throughput sequencing‐based approaches to DNA extracted from
environmental samples such as gut contents and faeces has become a popular tool for …

DNA metabarcoding is increasingly used in dietary studies to estimate diversity, composition
and frequency of occurrence of prey items. However, few studies have assessed how …

Ecological understanding of the role of consumer–resource interactions in natural food webs
is limited by the difficulty of accurately and efficiently determining the complex variety of food …

Dietary analysis using DNA metabarcoding is a powerful tool that is increasingly being used
to further our knowledge of trophic interactions in highly complex food webs but is not …

The analysis of food webs and their dynamics facilitates understanding of the mechanistic
processes behind community ecology and ecosystem functions. Having accurate techniques …

Effective conservation of species and ecosystems requires the understanding of important
ecological traits, such as dietary habits, food webs, and trophic niches. In diet studies, the …

Metabarcoding has been used in a range of ecological applications such as taxonomic
assignment, dietary analysis and the analysis of environmental DNA. However, after a …

Metabarcoding studies provide a powerful approach to estimate the diversity and
abundance of organisms in mixed communities in nature. While strategies exist for …
