Fecal samples showing Common Nighthawk (Chordeiles minor) diets in Florida, USA

We studied diet and prey selection by a poulation of Common Nighthawks (Chordeiles minor) that migrated between a breeding habitat in the USA and nonbreeding habitat in Argentina. We collected fecal samples from Common Nighthawks at Citrus Wildlife Management Area, Florida, USA, and Reserval Natural Rincon de Santa Maria (Santa Maria) , Corrientes Province, Argentina, and identified prey items using DNA metabarcoding. We paired this diet analysis with aerial insect sampling at Santa Maria, and we created referene barcodes for several common insects captured at this site. We've uplaoded raw reads from Illumina paired-end sequencing of DNA in Common Nighthawk fecal samples, along with barcodes for aerial insects sampled at Santa Maria. This dataset contains only samples from Citrus Wildlife Management Area, Florida, USA (other dataset contains Argentina samples).
