An efficient method for simultaneous species, individual, and sex identification via in-solution single nucleotide polymorphism capture from low-quality scat samples

Lillian D. Parker et al.

Summary: The study introduces a new method, FAECES*, which uses in-solution hybridization sequence capture to produce SNP genotypes from canid scat-derived DNA. This method can differentiate between coyotes and kit foxes, identify individuals and their sex, estimate genetic diversity and effective population sizes. The method can be adapted and applied more broadly to enrich and sequence multiple loci from any species of interest using noninvasive genetic samples.

Identification of novel bacterial biomarkers to detect bird scavenging by invasive rats

Carly R. Muletz-Wolz et al.

Summary: Genomic tools and molecular analysis were used to study the interactions between invasive rats and native/introduced birds in Hawaii. By combining microbial forensics and molecular dietary analysis, the study identified bird species consumed by rats through bacterial biomarkers in their gut microbiome. The research showed that bacterial markers of bird carcass decay can persist through rat digestion, serving as indicators of scavenging behavior.

Predation on desert tortoises (Gopherus agassizii) by desert canids

Erica C. Kelly et al.

Summary: Desert tortoises are vulnerable to predation by various predators such as desert kit foxes and coyotes, with coyotes consuming more adult tortoises while desert kit foxes prefer juveniles. The study found that these canids primarily consumed small mammals and invertebrates, with desert tortoise remains occurring at a low frequency, indicating opportunistic use of tortoises as prey or scavenged food.
