NEW PAPER: Identifying archived insect bulk samples using DNA metabarcoding: A case study using the long‐term Rothamsted Insect Survey - Petsopoulos - 2024 - Environmental DNA. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ed…

Great to be part of the GBOL III: Dark Taxa Species Conference! Within this project we used novel #metabarcoding approaches to investigate understudied taxa 🪰🐝 including their importance as natural enemies of forest pests. 🌳🌳

Some great images here of Wildlife Ecology Lab PhD student, Elizabeth Overton, who is studying the cheetah population in Tswalu Kalahari Reserve

Elizabeth's study uses camera traps 📸, DNA metabarcoding 🧬, movement data and direct observations to understand cheetah ecology & predator-prey dynamics

Methods!

Using dung sampling 💩 and DNA metabarcoding we studied two Kenyan IUCN Red List Critically Endangered savanna herbivores with different foraging strategies; the eastern black rhino (Diceros bicornis michaeli) and Grevy’s zebra (Equus grevyi)
