| Summary: | Progress Code: completed Statement: See the referenced paper for more information. 2018-09-24 - dataset reformatted by Daniela Farias for GBIF/OBIS compliance. The original datasheet was reformatted to fit IPT Biodiversity.AQ standard. The new datasheet "McInnesMolecularEcology.csv" provides the dataset ID, event ID, recordNumber, resourceID, relatedResourceID, relationshipOfResource, relationshipAccordingTo, locationID, decimalLatitude, decimalLongitude, country, countryCode, eventDate, year, verbatimMonth, behaviour, occurrenceStatus, basisOfRecord, organismQuantity, organismQuantityType, protocol. The taxonomical organisation is provided to the lowest taxonomical rank that could be determined, after matched in WoRMS (World Register of Marine Species). Purpose Samples were collected to determine the overall diet of black-browed albatross and Campbell albatross across their breeding range. This spreadsheet provides the sequences counts for the DNA groups found in the scats of black-browed albatross at New Island and Steeple Jason Island, Falkland Islands; Diego Ramírez and Albatross Islet, Chile; Bird Island, South Georgia; Canyon des Sourcils Noirs, Kerguelen Archipelago, France; Macquarie Island, Australia; and Campbell albatross at Campbell Island, NZ. Scat samples were collected in 2013/14 and 2014/15 at New Island, Steeple Jason Island, Macquarie Island, Campbell Island and Bird Island; in 2013/14 and 2015/16 at Kerguelen; in 2014/15 and 2015/16 at Albatross Islet and in 2013/14 at Diego Ramírez. Samples were collected during Incubation (Oct-Nov), early chick-rearing (Dec-Jan) or late-chick rearing (Feb-Mar). Due to the availability of birds at the colony, samples were predominantly collected from adults during incubation and early chick-rearing and chicks during late chick rearing. Samples sizes were too low during this study to directly compare dietary differences between chicks and adults; however, dietary comparisons between breeding stages were examined for sites where samples were collected ...
