DNA Metabarcoding Illuminates Seasonal Dietary Pattern and Niche Partitioning by Three Sympatric Herbivores

ABSTRACT Diet composition is among the most critical dimensions of animal ecology, yet seasonal dietary diversity has rarely been investigated in sympatric herbivores. This study used DNA metabarcoding to conduct an analysis of seasonal variations in diet composition and trophic niches for sympatric...
