External DNA contamination and efficiency of bleach decontamination for arthropod diet analysis
Abstract DNA metabarcoding is increasingly used to analyze the diet of arthropods, including spiders. However, high sensitivity to DNA contamination makes it difficult to apply to organisms obtained from mass‐sampling methods such as pitfall traps. An alternative is to hand‐sample spiders, but it is...
