DNA testing reveals greater gliders eat a wider variety of plants
Recent research from the University of the Sunshine Coast highlights a novel approach to studying the diet of Australia's greater gliders. By utilizing DNA testing on fecal samples, scientists can bypass traditional, tedious methods of analyzing waste. Associate Professor Dominique Potvin and her team aim to modernize wildlife research techniques, making dietary tracking far more precise and less dependent on guesswork.
