Investigating Anthropogenic and Social Influences on Diet of Semi‐Urban Vervet Monkeys Using DNA Metabarcoding

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We used eDNA metabarcoding of faecal samples to quantify the dietary composition of two vervet monkey populations in a semi‐urban environment in South Africa over a 4‐month period, and compared these results with visual observations. We found that both methods yielded similar results, but eDNA metabarcoding revealed a greater diversity of consumed taxa.

N2 fixation is linked to the ability to encroach in African savanna trees

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 517-533, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Encroachment is a globally ubiquitous phenomenon, characterised by increasing indigenous tree densities in savanna and grassland. Encroachment has been attributed to rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations fertilising tree growth and shifting the competitive balance ...

Dietary DNA Metabarcoding From Animal Fecal Samples

open access: yesCurrent Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Fecal DNA metabarcoding is a powerful tool for examining animal diets with unprecedented resolution, offering insights into ecological patterns shaped by trophic interactions. As a result, dietary metabarcoding has become widely applied across ecology, evolution, behavior, and conservation.
