Unraveling the dietary diversity of Neotropical top predators using scat DNA metabarcoding: A case study on the elusive Giant Otter

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 3, Issue 5, Page 889-900, September 2021., 2021
A multi‐marker scat DNA metabarcoding approach was used to examine the dietary diversity of the world's largest and rarest otter, the iconic giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis) from fecal DNA. The combined use of highly discriminant markers (COI and 12S) and of local reference databases of DNA barcodes offered a high accuracy of taxonomic assignments ...
