MetaBARFcoding: DNA‐barcoding of regurgitated prey yields insights into Christmas shearwater (Puffinus nativitatis) foraging ecology at Hōlanikū (Kure Atoll), Hawaiʻi

Abstract Morphological identification of digested prey remains from a generalist predator can be challenging, especially when attempting to match degraded remains to taxonomic keys.
