COI alignment of sequences for genbank

This BioEdit file provides an alignment of the COI sequences uploaded to genbank for this publication. Please note, that for GenBank publication sequences were cropped to achieve clear and identical sequences from forward and reverse direction reads

kingfisher and cormorant molecular screening

The data show the results of a molecular screening (multiplex PCR) of field collected feces of the Common Kingfisher and the Great Cormorant, as well as regurgitated pellets of the latter. readme is included in the fil

Eurasian otter feeding trial

This are data from a fish feeding trial on Eurasian Otters. The animals were fed a different fish species every day; 5 otter spraints were collected per evening; these were analyzed molecularely for fish DNA and morphologically for fishbones

Plant species list used for determining sensitivity of multiplex (FLPS, LF, TAT, TZ) and singleplex assays (Plantago, Apiaceae, Poaceae).

<p>Lowest detection rates achieved are given in number of template copies.</p

Relative location of primer binding sites on the <i>trn</i>T-F cpDNA region.

<p>At the base of each figure is a size marker, which indicates a sequence length of 50 bp. (<b>A</b>) Positions of the family specific primers for Poaceae (above) and Apiaceae (below): The dotted lines represent the known sequence, the dashed lines the second exon of <i>trn</i>L and the exon of <i>trn</i>F, and the thick bars symbolise the primer binding sites. (<b>B</b>) Position of the genus- and species specific primers: The dotted lines represent the known sequence, the inner bars indicate the position of the two <i>trn</i>L exons and the outer bars the position of the <i>trn</i>T and the <i>trn</i>F gen. The binding sites of primers are indicated by double crosses.</p

Plant species collected in maize fields (M) and perennial grassland (G), which were used to establish the PCR-based identification system.

<p>Target species of the molecular assays are displayed in bold.</p
