Improving accuracy of DNA diet estimates using food tissue control materials and an evaluation of proxies for digestion bias

Ecologists are increasingly interested in quantifying consumer diets based on food DNA in dietary samples and high-throughput sequencing of marker genes. It is tempting to assume that food DNA sequence proportions recovered from diet samples are representative of consumer's diet proportions, de...
