... such as scat. Scat provides genetic information via residual host DNA on the outside of the scat, via characterising the genetic makeup of intestinal microbes that are present in the scat, or by examining the DNA remnants of prey items that have passed through the animal’s digestive tract. In this review, we...

... Shellfish reefs or beds are typically habitats dominated by one or multiple species of oysters and mussels. Individuals in these beds form dense aggregations changing the substrate complexity and surface area of the habitat, which then support complex communities of plants, animals, and microbes (Liu et al...
