Fecal DNA metabarcoding helps characterize the Canada jay's diet and confirms its reliance on stored food for winter survival and breeding
Accurately determining the diet of wild animals can be challenging if food items are small,
visible only briefly, or rendered visually unidentifiable in the digestive system. In some food …
