“…So far, the most promising approach for use across a broad range of species is mass trapping and metabarcoding of invertebrates that feed on vertebrates (Bohmann, Schnell, & Gilbert, ; Calvignac‐Spencer, Leendertz, Gilbert, & Schubert, ). Such invertebrate “samplers” tested to date include leeches (Schnell et al., ), mosquitos (Logue et al., ), dung beetles (Gillett, Johnson, Barr, & Hulcr, ) and carrion flies (Calvignac‐Spencer, Merkel et al., ; Lee, Gan, Clements, & Wilson, ; Lee, Sing, & Wilson, ; Schubert et al., ). We focus on the latter.…”
