Arctic greening drives changes in the diet and gut microbiome of a resident herbivore with consequences for fitness

This study examines how Arctic greening affects the diet and gut microbiome of Svalbard reindeer, finding that increased shrub consumption improves body mass and fitness.

DNA metabarcoding diet analysis in ruminants is quantitative and integrates feeding over several weeks

This study validates DNA metabarcoding as a quantitative tool for diet analysis in ruminants, showing it integrates feeding over several weeks.

Within-species variation in the gut microbiome of medaka (Oryzias latipes) is driven by the interaction of light intensity and genetic background

This study investigates how light intensity and genetic background interact to shape gut microbiome variation in medaka, finding light-dependent differences in bacterial richness between two selected lines.

Comparing three types of dietary samples for prey DNA decay in an insect generalist predator

This study compares prey DNA detection success in three dietary samples (regurgitates, feces, whole consumers) of carabid beetles, finding that regurgitates and whole consumers retain DNA longer than feces.
