Factors affecting detectability of prey DNA in the gut contents of invertebrate predators: a polymerase chain reaction-based method
2008-03-01
Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to determine factors that influence the detection of DNA of Plutella xylostella L. (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) in the gut contents of arthropod predators when the polymerase chain reaction is used to amplify a diagnostic fragment of the gene coding for cytochrome oxidase subunit I. The effects of temperature, time since feeding, subsequent food intake, sex, weight, and species of predator on prey d...
