Metabarcoding reveals selective dietary responses to environmental availability in the diet of a nocturnal, aerial insectivore, the European Nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus)

Lucy J. Mitchell, Auteur ; Gavin J. Horsburgh, Auteur ; Deborah A. Dawson, Auteur ; Kathryn H. Maher, Auteur ; Kathryn E. Arnold, Auteur

Dans Ibis (164(1) January, 2022)

Many bird species are vulnerable to environmental change, so knowledge of their diet and its variation can help understand population status and flexibility to respond to change. Insectivorous species are predicted to have a flexible diet within[...]
