Analysing diet of small herbivores : the efficiency of DNA barcoding coupled with high-throughput pyrosequencing for deciphering the composition of complex plant mixtures
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-08-20)
Background: In order to understand the role of herbivores in trophic webs, it is essential to know
what they feed on. Diet analysis is, however, a challenge in many small herbivores with a secretive
life style. In this paper, we compare novel (high-throughput pyrosequencing) DNA barcoding
technology for plant mixture with traditional microhistological method. We analysed stomach
contents of two ...
Toward understanding the effect of top predators on ecosystems
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2009)
To what extent top predators - carnivores at the top of food chains - drive or just respond to ecosystem dynamics is a central, but partially unresolved, question in ecology. In this report, we highlight how different research approaches employed in aquatic and terrestrial ecology may have a bearing on how the role of top predators in ecosystems is perceived.
