Monitoring the birds and the bees: Environmental DNA metabarcoding of flowers detects plant–animal interactions

Abstract Animal pollinators are vital for the reproduction of ~90% of flowering plants. However, many of these pollinating species are experiencing declines globally, making effective pollinator monitoring methods more important than ever before. Pollinators can leave DNA on the flowers they visit,...
