Metabarcoding Reveals the Dietary Patterns of Bats Within a Unique European Habitat, the Pasture-Dominated Landscapes of Ireland. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated the diets of two common insectivorous bat species, Plecotus auritus and Pipistrellus pygmaeus, across the pastureland‐dominated landscape of Ireland. Using metabarcoding and next‐generation sequencing, we analysed 4627 faecal samples collected over three years from twelve maternity roosts during gestation, lactation, and post‐lactation ...

Human land‐use changes the diets of sympatric native and invasive mammal species
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 We simultaneously study the diet of nine native and two invasive mammal species inhabiting three different anthropogenic land‐uses across six bioclimatic regions using environmental DNA and stable isotope analysis. We show that land‐use influences the trophic relationships in invaded communities.
