Counting with DNA in metabarcoding studies: How should we convert sequence reads to dietary data?
(2019-01)Advances in DNA sequencing technology have revolutionized the field of molecular analysis of trophic interactions, and it is now possible to recover counts of food DNA sequences from a wide range of dietary samples. But ... -
Symbiont interactions with non-native hosts limit the formation of new symbioses.
(2018-03-12)BACKGROUND: Facultative symbionts are common in eukaryotes and can provide their hosts with significant fitness benefits. Despite the advantage of carrying these microbes, they are typically only found in a fraction of the ... -

Molecular diet analysis of two african free-tailed bats (molossidae) using high throughput sequencing.
(2011)Given the diversity of prey consumed by insectivorous bats, it is difficult to discern the composition of their diet using morphological or conventional PCR-based analyses of their faeces. We demonstrate the use of a ...
