Fish as predators and prey: DNA‐based assessment of their role in food webs
Fish are both consumers and prey, and as such part of a dynamic trophic network.
Measuring how they are trophically linked, both directly and indirectly, to other species is …

Empirically characterising trophic networks: what emerging DNA-based methods, stable isotope and fatty acid analyses can offer
Food webs in agricultural systems are complex and trophic linkages are difficult to track
using conventional methodologies. Here, we review three alternative approaches that allow …
