Disentangling the diet composition of Arctic shorebirds? chicks provides a new perspective on trophic mismatches: dataset

We use metabarcoding of prey items in faeces to show that chicks of four different shorebird species (red knot, curlew sandpiper, little stint, and red phalarope) strongly differ in their arthropod diet, which may have implications for the calculations of trophic mismatches.
