摘要

普通睡鼠主要是食草动物，专门吃高质量的食物。昆虫也被记录在饮食中，从它们在粪便中的碎片残骸中识别出来。我们研究了使用线粒体DNA作为替代的“DNA条形码”的使用。样本是从英格兰的七个地点收集的。26个样本中有一半含有昆虫DNA，来自四种鳞翅目和一种双翅目。我们认为这是一种研究睡鼠捕食昆虫的实用方法，并讨论了其局限性。

Insects in the diet of the hazel dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius): a pilot study using DNA barcoding

The common dormouse is primarily herbivorous, specialising in high quality food. Insects have also been recorded in the diet, identified from their fragmented remains in faeces. We investigated the use of ‘DNA barcoding’ using mitochondrial DNA as an alternative. Samples were collected from seven sites in England. Half of the 26 samples contained insect DNA, from four species of Lepidoptera and one Dipteran. We conclude that this is a practical approach to investigating dormouse predation on insects and discuss its limitations.
