Bryophyte DNA sequences from faeces of an arctic herbivore, barnacle goose ( Branta leucopsis )
Abstract We tested DNA extraction methods and PCR conditions for the amplification of bryophyte DNA from barnacle goose ( Branta leucopsis ) faeces collected from Spitsbergen (Svalbard). Both the Qiagen stool kit and a silica‐based extraction method received sufficient DNA from fresh and older dropp...
