Quantifying the Dietary Overlap of Two Co‐Occurring Mammal Species Using DNA Metabarcoding to Assess Potential Competition

Quantifying the Dietary Overlap of Two Co‐Occurring Mammal Species Using DNA Metabarcoding to Assess Potential Competition

ABSTRACT Interspecific competition is often assumed in ecosystems where co‐occurring species have similar resource requirements. The potential for competition can be investigated by measuring the dietary overlap of putative competitor species. The degree of potential competition between generalist s...
