TABLE 2.
Summary of the number of species within each procellariiform family for which reference sequences are available, and the utility of these for identification of unknown sequences to species or sister‐species level, for each of the three markers used in this study.
| Total number of species | COI_AP | Cytb_AP | CRBIRD_AP | Cytb_AP and/or CRBIRD_AP | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Species with ref. sequence | Species ID | Sister‐species ID | Species with ref. sequence | Species ID | Sister‐species ID | Species with ref. sequence | Species ID | Sister‐species ID | Species with ref. sequence | Species ID | Sister‐species ID | ||
| Listed species | 36 | 33 (92%) | 11 (33%) | 10 (30%) | 35 (97%) | 13 (37%) | 12 (34%) | 28 (78%) | 26 (72%) | 2 (7%) | 35 (97%) | 31 (89%) | 4 (11%) |
| Diomedeidae | 22 | 21 | 4 | 6 | 22 | 6 | 8 | 21 | 19 | 2 | 22 | 20 | 2 |
| Procellariidae | 99 | 58 | 38 | 12 | 87 | 44 | 15 | 14 | 11 | 0 | 87 | 48 | 11 |
| Hydrobatidae | 18 | 8 | 8 | 0 | 17 | 9 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 17 | 9 | 2 |
| Oceanitidae | 10 | 6 | 6 | 0 | 7 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 7 | 7 | 0 |
| All procellariiform species | 149 | 93 | 56 | 18 | 133 | 67 | 25 | 38 | 30 | 2 | 133 | 84 | 15 |
Note: For some genera, at least one species has no reference DNA sequence available: Identifications to species or sister‐species level should be revised if reference sequences representing new species are added to the database in the future.
