Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of Black Rails, Yellow Rails, and Soras
Fastq sequencing data for metabarcoding of fecal pellets from black rail (Laterallus jamaicensis jamaicensis), yellow rail (Coturnicops noveboracensis), and sora (Porzana carolina). Cytochrome oxidase I was targeted using fwhF2 and fwhR2n primers, and amplification products were sequenced using the Illumina MiSeq platform in order to assess dietary contents.
