Raw labeled reads from faecal samples of Calidris alpina, C. alba and Plectrophenax nivalis

Collected while handling the birds or from the field while observing the birds. DNA extracted from individual pellets using Zymo Research Faecal Mini Kit. Sequenced using Ion Torrent PGM. FASTQ file header stands for: @READNUMBER;barcodelabel=SAMPLEID_COLLECTIONLOCALITY_DAY-MONTH-YEAR_BIRDSPECIES_BIRDAGE

The final readmap

This readmap contains the final read counts for each sample. The difference to raw readmap is that some OTU's in this version have been clumped together. The information in this sheet was used as presense/absence data in the study

Command pipeline used for bioinformatics

The file contains all the commandds used in this study to generate the final data. The bioinformatics was carried out at servers on CSC - IT Center for SCience in Finland

Raw labeled reads from samples of Pardosa glacialis, Xysticus deichmanni, X. labradorensis, Erigone arctica, and Emblyna borealis

Collected from the field. DNA extracted from half individuals using Qiagen Animla Tissue Kit. Sequenced using Ion Torrent PGM. FASTQ file header stands for: @READNUMBER;barcodelabel=SAMPLEID. SampleID: Xd

OTU sequences for Spider data2

Clustered to OTUs using USEARCH algorithm with default (97%) similarity. This way there is a little bit of oversplitting, and OTUs belonging to same biological species are clustered subsequently
