Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.Identifying the sources of intraspecific dietary variation is central to understanding how populations adapt to environmental variation, and yet these sources are poorly understood in a key model species in avian ecology, the great tit. Here we use DNA metabarcoding to describe the diet of great tits at an unprecedented level of detail and reveal ...
