New paper out in Molecular Ecology Resources!

Another new paper alert! "Successes and limitations of quantitative diet metabarcoding in a small, herbivorous mammal" published in Molecular Ecology Resources. In this study, we assessed the accuracy of plant metabarcoding for diet determination in non-ruminant herbivores. Another thesis chapter published for Tess — Go Tess!!
