Using DNA Metabarcoding and Citizen Science to Assess the Diet of Owned Domestic Cats
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT Various methods have been attempted to quantify hunting and consumption of wild prey by domestic cats, but molecular analysis of their scat using DNA metabarcoding has rarely been attempted. In this study, we relied on owner‐collected scats (n = 32) from litterboxes and backyards to test whether this methodology could be used to detect ...
