Add to ORKGWe developed an approach to recover prey DNA from gut contents of nauplii of a predatory copepod by blocking the detection of predator with ligase and a blocking oligonucleotide and amplifying prey DNA with universal primers. Adding 25 U of ligase improved predator clamping, while 100 and 200 U reduced efficiency. Field-collected nauplii consumed a broad range of prey. The method paves the way to investigations of the diets of small predators at all life stages
