High‐throughput sequencing outperforms traditional morphological methods in Blue Catfish diet analysis and reveals novel insights into diet ecology

Evans, H. K., Bunch, A. J., Schmitt, J. D., Hoogakker, F. J., & Carlson, K. B. (2021, March 30). Ecology and Evolution.

By: H. Evans* , A. Bunch *, J. Schmitt *, F. Hoogakker * & K. Carlson n

author keywords: at‐ risk species; Blue Catfish; diet; flow rate; high‐ throughput sequencing; metabarcoding
topics (OpenAlex): Identification and Quantification in Food; Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies; Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies
TL;DR: The novel finding that Blue Catfish diet diversity inversely correlates to daily flow rates, perhaps due to higher mobility and prey‐seeking behaviors exhibited during lower flow, is reported. (via Semantic Scholar)
