New paper: Diets and dung-associated invertebrates investigated with #eDNA at 5 Danish rewilding sites. Key results: Diets and dung-communities differ between cattle and horses, and feeding affects diets, but effects depend on intensity! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Impacts of proactive health management on cattle and horse diets and dung biodiversity in Danish rewilding areas
Our findings demonstrate functional differences between cattle and horses, which suggest complementary effects on vegetation development and consequently biodiversity. Also, our results indicate that....

Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals temporal dynamics but functional stability of arthropod communities in cattle dung
The study shows temporal dynamics of invertebrate succession in cattle dung by a multi-taxon approach. Functional redundancy was found within groups of beetles and flies important for dung decomposit...

Great timing with #WorldRewildingDay and just handed in my PhD dissertation,where I investigate ecosystem effects in relation to trophic rewilding with #environmentalDNA. Link to the first two published papers in comments - looking forward to share the remaining results later.. Stay tuned! 🦬🐎🌿
