Gavia Species Identification and Diet Composition from Feces, Central North Slope, Alaska, 2012-2014

This data set is comprised of one table with sampling information and NCBI BioProject accession numbers for sequence information of this amplicon-based study targeting Loon (Gavia sp.) and fish species expected in lake systems of the North Slope of Alaska from fecal samples. Highly conserved primers which could differentiate species of interest were developed for five portions of gavia mtDNA genes (COXI, CytB, ND1, ND2, and ND5) and two portions of fish mtDNA genes (12S, and CytB). The reference sequences and conserved primer sets to identify species present were developed using publicly available data from NCBI GenBank.
