Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.
We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.

Applying and refining DNA analysis to determine the identity of plant material extracted from the digestive tracts of katydids [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
Background Feeding habits are central to animal ecology, but it is often difficult to characterize the diet of organisms that are arboreal, nocturnal, rare, or highly mobile.

Evolutionary implications of a deep‐time perspective on insect pollination

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1452-1466, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Plant pollination by insects represents one of the most transformative and iconic ecological relationships in the natural world. Despite tens of thousands of papers, as well as numerous books, on pollination biology published over the past 200 years, most studies focused on the fossil record of pollinating insects have only been published in ...

Body size evolution as a catalyst for diversification of copulation strategies and its spillover effects on genital evolution and phylogenetic divergence in terrestrial arthropods

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 191-207, July 2025.
A scenario in which divergent selection derived from ecological environments leads to genital divergence through body size evolution. Abstract To explore how ecological diversity contributes to the establishment of ecologically similar species with sexual divergence, this review focuses on body size—an environmentally influenced trait that determines ...

Tracking Ungulate Diet: Comparing Observational and DNA Metabarcoding Tools

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
Our study evaluates the diets of large mammalian herbivores by comparing traditional observations with DNA metabarcoding analyses of plants and plant‐dwelling arthropods. While plant DNA metabarcoding reliably identifies dietary preferences, arthropod‐derived plant information is less accurate compared to traditional methods.
