Molecular diet analysis of neotropical bats based on fecal DNA metabarcoding
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 12, Page 7474-7491, June 2021., 2021 Inferring the exact diets of small, nocturnal mammals such as bats is notoriously difficult. Limited knowledge of what bats actually eat leaves important trophic interactions and food web networks unclear. Using molecular barcoding of plants, vertebrates, and invertebrates, we report fine‐scale dietary detection for 25 species of Belizean bats ...

Unlocking the potential of historical abundance datasets to study biomass change in flying insects
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 15, Page 8394-8404, August 2020., 2020 Assessment of trends in insect biomass is hampered by a lack of data. To address this, we developed a method to estimate the biomass of historical samples of moths, where abundance and species identity have been recorded. Estimates made using this method explain >85% of total variation in sample biomass, allowing biomass to be predicted to an ...
