- Proportion of identified food items in the diet of Microtus oeconomus using microhistological (mic) and DNA barcoding (dna) methods, summer and autumn, (mean ± standard deviation). At each taxonomic level, also the proportions from lower levels are included, except for Euphyllophytes where only the items which could not be assigned to a lower taxa are included. NA = Food item not identifiable with the method in question.
