Metabarcoding analysis of different portions of the digestive tract of scorpions (Scorpiones, Arachnida) following a controlled diet regime shows long prey DNA half‐life

Abstract Molecular analysis of gut content is one of the widest used methods to investigate diet in arthropods. Stomach content analysis in some arthropods is particularly difficult, e.g., in arachnids, because they have external digestion and a low foraging frequency. Scorpions have a particularly...
