An improved method for utilizing high‐throughput amplicon sequencing to determine the diets of insectivorous animals

DNA analysis of predator faeces using high‐throughput amplicon sequencing (HTS) enhances our understanding of predator–prey interactions. However, conclusions drawn from this technique are constrained by biases that occur in multiple steps of the HTS workflow. To better characterize insectivorous an...
