Gut content metabarcoding of specialized feeders is not a replacement for environmental DNA assays of seawater in reef environments

Gut content metabarcoding of specialized feeders is not a replacement for environmental DNA assays of seawater in reef environments

In tropical marine ecosystems, the coral-based diet of benthic-feeding reef fishes provides a window into the composition and health of coral reefs. In this study, for the first time, we compare multi-assay metabarcoding sequences of environmental DNA (eDNA) isolated from seawater and partially dige...
