Web‐location by linyphiid spiders: prey‐specific aggregation and foraging strategies (2003, background): “It may well be that as we increase our knowledge of generalist predator foraging behaviour and prey choice, through detailed field studies such as this, or by using molecular techniques to analyse food webs (Symondson 2002), the elegance with which apparently functionally similar species intermesh w”
Diet tracing in ecology: Method comparison and selection (2017, methodology): “Older technologies such as protein electrophoresis, immunoassays, monoclonal antibodies, and DNA techniques based on cloning and targeted gene approaches (reviewed by Symondson, 2002) still play a role in diet tracing, but most approaches now rely on high throughput DNA sequencing.”
How will the ‘molecular revolution’ contribute to biological recording? (2015, methodology): “Molecular tools have been used to study diet for over ten years (e.g. Symondson, 2002), but interest in the field has soared recently thanks to improvements in technology for high-throughput assaying of degraded DNA, in combination with analyses of ecological networks from thousands of species’…”
Current progress in DNA barcoding and future implications for entomology (2011, methodology): “Hence, using DNA barcoding to identify agents based on their gut contents would make this process more efficient (Symondson 2002; Greenstone 2006; Neumann et al. 2010).”
DNA Barcoding Applied to Invasive Leafminers (Diptera: Agromyzidae) in the Philippines (2006, background): “Finally, because DNA barcoding can be performed on any life stage, reliable identiÞcations of juvenile or even partial specimens are possible (Palumbi and Cipriano 1998, Symondson 2002).”
Remote collection of animal DNA and its applications in conservation management and understanding the population biology of rare and cryptic species (2003, background): “Of course, in many cases a traditional trapping approach may be more efficient for straightforward population genetic analyses, but as Symondson (2002) points out, molecular analysis of owl prey would reveal selective predation on certain genotypes or sexes.”
Bias in carnivore diet analysis resulting from misclassification of predator scats based on field identification (2016, background): “…(Azevedo et al. 2006), isotope analysis (Dalerum and Angerbj€orn 2005), fatty acid analysis (Iverson et al. 1996), molecular genetic approaches (Symondson 2002, Deagle et al. 2005, King et al. 2008, De Barba et al. 2014b, Received: 6 February 2016; Accepted: 12 September 2016 Published: 7…”
Age-related shifts in the diet composition of southern elephant seals expand overall foraging niche (2007, methodology): “There is a suite of methods available for the determination of diet, including direct and indirect observation, genetic sampling (Symondson 2002; Jarman et al. 2002), fatty acid signature analyses (Brown et al. 1999; Bradshaw et al. 2003; Iverson et al. 2004), stable isotope analyses (Iverson et…”
