DNA‐metabarcoding supports trophic flexibility and reveals new prey species for the Galapagos sea lion

Abstract Tropical ecosystems are challenging for pinnipeds due to fluctuating food availability. According to previous research, the Galapagos sea lion (GSL, Zalophus wollebaeki) adopts trophic flexibility to face such conditions. However, this hypothesis comes from studies using traditional methods...
