A colleague of mine at a Cdn university is looking for a service provider to ID mammals from fecal pellet DNA. Any suggestions?
Try one of these authors (ms available on ResearchGate):
Kartzinel, T.R., P.A. Chen, T.C. Coverdale, D.L. Erickson, W.J. Kress, M.L. Kuzmina, D.I. Rubenstein, W. Wang, R.M. Pringle. 2015. DNA metabarcoding illuminates dietary niche partitioning by African large herbivores. PNAS, online early.
The above mentioned authors are Ok
You could try the Natural Resources DNA Profiling & Forensic Centre (NRDPFC) at Trent University in Ontario.

For bats, a lab at Northern Arizona University is providing this service:

Research Species from Feces brochure
Try contacting Lisette Waits from the University of Idaho. She and her colleagues have work a lot with DNA analysis from faecal samples.
