Variation in the detectability of predator-prey interactions may lead to misleading conclusions in trophic ecology studies

2024-11-14

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Molecular gut content analysis has revolutionised trophic ecology and provided precious insights for biological control. It allowed for the determination of the diet of many organisms and the identification of predators of specific pests in natural conditions. However, DNA detectability depends on many parameters, notably on digestion rates that vary according to the predator-prey pair...
