Quantitative PCR to estimate copepod feeding (2008, unknown): “and feasibility for development of a quantitative PCRbased approach for investigations of in situ gut content of calanoid copepods (Nejstgaard et al. 2003).”
Identification and enumeration of Alexandrium spp. from the Gulf of Maine using molecular probes (2005, result): “In support of this same concept, Nejstgaard et al. (2003) present preliminary evidence showing how DNA sequences specific for some phytoplankton can be recovered from copepods and their fecal pellets.”
Zooplankton grazing on Phaeocystis: a quantitative review and future challenges (2007, background): “Such approaches are already common in studies of e.g., terrestrial arthropods (Sheppard and Harwood 2005; Symondson 2002), and it has been shown that prey DNA from haptophyte phytoplankton can be detected in copepod guts and fecal pellets by standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting 18S rib”
Glimpse into guts: overview of the feeding of larvae of tropical shorefishes (2007, background): “The development of molecular probes to identify gut contents (e.g. Nejstgaard et al. 2003, Suzuki et al. 2006) represents a powerful new tool to quantify predation on protists and other easily digested organisms.”
