Sorting things out: Assessing effects of unequal specimen biomass on DNA metabarcoding
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3192
Abstract: Abstract Environmental bulk samples often contain many different taxa that vary several orders of magnitude in biomass. This can be problematic in DNA metabarcoding and metagenomic high‐throughput sequencing approaches, as large specimens contribute disproportionately high… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8881
Abstract: Abstract Ecological research is often hampered by the inability to quantify animal diets. Diet composition can be tracked through DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, but whether (complex) diets can be quantitatively determined with metabarcoding is… read more here.

DNA metabarcoding of nestling feces reveals provisioning of aquatic prey and resource partitioning among Neotropical migratory songbirds in a riparian habitat
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Oecologia"
DOI: 10.1007/s00442-018-4136-0
Abstract: Riparian habitats are characterized by substantial flows of emergent aquatic insects that cross the stream-forest interface and provide an important source of prey for insectivorous birds. The increased availability of prey arising from aquatic subsidies… read more here.
