“…The use of PCR‐based assays for qualitative detection of prey consumed by predatory species has become nearly routine in the study of trophic ecology (Pompanon et al, ). Increasingly, these methods are also being used to quantify prey consumption although quantification can be considerably more challenging (Frischer et al, ; Nejstgaard et al, ). Results from NGS studies are particularly prone to systematic bias associated with library preparation, sequencing and bioinformatics procedures, and thus, it is recommended that NGS data be interpreted qualitatively unless appropriate controls or complimentary orthogonal methods are also applied (Bista et al, ; Hardwick, Deveson, & Mercer, ).…”

“…Utilizing a blocking PNA assay (Troedsson et al, ; Von Wintzingerode, Landt, Ehrlich, & Göbel, ) specific to D. gegenbauri in conjunction with a general (universal) 18S rDNA‐targeted PCR primer set, it was possible to directly determine the diversity of prey ingested by D. gegenbauri in both laboratory and field studies. Because prey DNA is poorly digested by D. gegenbauri (Frischer et al, ), it was also possible to quantify diatoms utilizing a real‐time quantitative PCR approach with a diatom group‐specific primer set. Comparison of NGS 18S rDNA amplicon libraries from continental shelf water (available prey field) with wild‐caught animals and cultured animals exposed to shelf water yielded new insights into the diet of D. gegenbauri .…”
