Trust your guts? The effect of gut section on diet composition and impact of Mus musculus on islands using metabarcoding. [PDF]
In this article, we assessed the differences in diet estimates and potential ecological and economic impact measurements according to the section of the gastrointestinal tract (stomach, small and large intestine) analysed. We aimed to test which section(s) provided a better diet representation and putative impact of a common inland invader.
