Among various techniques available for food identification (including direct observation, feeding trails, and microscopic gut content analysis), PCR assays have been shown to be an accurate and relatively quick method for detecting ingested plants, features that are especially important for large-scale studies (e.g., Jurado-Rivera et al., 2009; Garcia-Robledo et al., 2013).
The newer plants feature fewer employees and smaller assembly lines, an increased involvement with electronics and computers, and alliances with laboratories such as NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
