Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular identification of prey in predator diets.
TL;DR: Although monoclonal antibodies are currently the most effective method in use today, PCR‐based techniques have proved to be highly effective and versatile in recent laboratory trials and are likely to rapidly displace all other approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative fatty acid signature analysis: a new method of estimating predator diets
TL;DR: It is concluded that QFASA provides estimates of diets for individuals at time scales that are relevant to the ecological processes affecting survival, and can be used to study diet variability within individuals over time, which will provide important opportunities rarely possible with other indirect methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advances in molecular ecology: tracking trophic links through predator–prey food‐webs
TL;DR: The development of molecular techniques for use in predator‐prey studies is primarily limited by their cost and the development of new procedures and equipment that complement them.
Book ChapterDOI
Sexual segregation in marine fish, reptiles, birds and mammals behaviour patterns, mechanisms and conservation implications.
TL;DR: The behavioural patterns of sexual segregation among marine fish, reptile, bird and mammal species are discussed and the value of studying model species which are monomorphic with respect to body size is indicated, to discuss possible underlying causes for sexual segregation in this species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular scatology: the use of molecular genetic analysis to assign species, sex and individual identity to seal faeces
TL;DR: A protocol for obtaining DNA from seal scat (faecal) samples which can be used in polymerase chain reactions to amplify both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA can provide a method of identifying the species, sex and individual identity of the seal, from a particular scat sample.
