Bite‐DNA Shows Substantial Browsing on Willows (Salix spp.) by North American Bison in Yellowstone National Park

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Riparian willows in Yellowstone National Park are shaped by ungulate browsing, but species‐specific contributions remain unclear. Using bite‐DNA metabarcoding of browsed willow twigs across six northern range sites, we found that American bison were the most frequent browsers, exceeding elk and often mule deer.
