Metabarcoding Close to Home: Songbird Nests as eDNA Aggregators for Trophic Ecology and Biodiversity Studies

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
We present a novel method for extracting eDNA from whole bird nests and a LNA blocking oligonucleotide designed to reduce metabarcoding reads from nest building sparrows. Metabarcoding of 22 nests from a montane sagebrush steppe ecosystem detected 126 species, primarily insects, including putative diet items, ectoparasites, and confirmed nest predators.

Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.
We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.
