Mid-Holocene coprolites from southern New Zealand provide new insights into the diet and ecology of the extinct little bush moa (Anomalopteryx didiformis)

Jamie R. Wood et al.

Summary: Knowledge about the diets of New Zealand's extinct moa is heavily biased towards just three species, while the diets of the other six species remain poorly known. A new coprolite deposit attributed to the little bush moa provides insights into their diet and suggests a potential role in dispersing ground fern spores in New Zealand forests. This discovery contributes to a better understanding of the prehistoric forest ecosystems in New Zealand.

DNA metabarcoding reveals the dietary composition in the endangered black-faced spoonbill

Pei-Yu Huang et al.

Summary: The study utilized DNA metabarcoding to investigate the dietary compositions of migratory waterbirds in Asia, finding that the endangered black-faced spoonbill has a broad dietary spectrum, mainly consuming Mugiliformes, Cichliformes, and Gobiiformes. The results demonstrated clear patterns of spatiotemporal variations, reflecting feeding habits and habitat usage among the birds.
