DNA barcoding in diet assessment is a molecular technique used to identify and analyze the dietary components of an organism’s diet by analyzing the DNA sequences of the consumed food items. This method provides a more accurate and sensitive means of identifying prey or food sources compared to traditional methods that often rely on morphological identification.
