Fecal DNA metabarcoding reveals seasonal and annual variation in willow ptarmigan diet

Understanding spatio-temporal variation in the diet of alpine herbivores is important to predict how a changing climate will affect these species in the future. We examined the spatio-temporal variation in willow ptarmigan (Lagopus l. lagopus) diet using DNA metabarcoding of fecal pellets sampled fr...
