Reconstructing trophic interactions through molecular genetic diet analysis

We collaborate with partners including the British Trust for Ornithology, the Atlantic Salmon Trust and Cairngorm Connect to reconstruct seabird and mammal diets from genetic metabarcoding of their faeces.

Researchers: Dr Barbara Morrissey, Dr Cristian Navarro Waggershauser
