Metabarcoding data from the guano of insectivorous bats in Sabah, Malaysia

This dataset includes capture data for insectivorous bats captured with harp traps in Sabah, Malaysia, and dietary metabarcoding data. The dietary data was generated through obtaining bat faeces, extracting the DNA, amplifying it using ZBJ-ArtF1c ZBJ-ArtR2c primers, and then sequencing it on an illumina miseq. Code to aid interpreting the data can be found at https://doi.org/10.17636/01044623 This data was collected as part of the NERC-funded LOMBOK HMTF project, also using a small grant from Bat Conservation International.

本数据集包含马来西亚沙巴州使用竖琴捕兽器（harp traps）捕获的食虫蝙蝠的捕获数据，以及饮食元条形码（dietary metabarcoding）数据。该饮食数据的生成流程为：采集蝙蝠粪便样本、提取脱氧核糖核酸（DNA）、使用ZBJ-ArtF1c与ZBJ-ArtR2c引物进行扩增，随后在Illumina MiSeq测序平台上完成测序。用于辅助解读该数据集的代码可在https://doi.org/10.17636/01044623 获取。本数据集的采集工作隶属于英国自然环境研究委员会（Natural Environment Research Council, NERC）资助的LOMBOK HMTF项目，同时还获得了国际蝙蝠保护组织（Bat Conservation International）提供的小额科研资助。
