Detection of prey DNA in bat feces: Effects of time since feeding, meal size, and prey identity
Abstract Molecular analyses of feces are widely used to study the feeding ecology of bats. However, little is known about how detectability of prey DNA from bat feces is influenced by gut retention time, mass of prey eaten, or prey identity, which hampers the interpretation of field data. Here, we a...
