Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to test if diet of migratory birds is correlated with Pb exposure level at a contaminated site in north Idaho: CO1 dataset

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 12:51 AM | Dataset Last Updated: June 26, 2025
Fecal samples from migratory birds were collected from contaminated wetlands in the Bunker Hill Lower Basin Coeur ’d Alene River Watershed and from a Hepton Lake reference area St. Joe River Watershed during 2022-2024. Mitochondrial CO1 metabarcoding was used to confirm bird taxa from which samples were collected. CO1 primers with Illumina adaptors: CO1-F TCGTCGGCAGCGTCAGATGTGTATAAGAGACAGAACATTCAGCCATCTTACCCGTG CO1-R GTCTCGTGGGCTCGGAGATGTGTATAAGAGACAGACAGGGAGTGATAGRAGKAGTAGG Also, chloroplast rbcL metabarcoding was used to identify plant taxa recently consumed by the birds, which can be found at DOI: 10.23719/1532393
