Abstract excerpt

All bats in Newfoundland, Canada are insectivores. While the dietary insects of several bat species have been investigated elsewhere in Canada and North America, little is known about the insect prey of Newfoundland bats. Here, we use DNA metabarcode sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) gene to identify insect prey from Myotis lucifugus guano. Among 21 guano samples from six sites in...
