Figure 1. Coverage comparison of 16S and CO1 barcoding markers on prey groups.
Number (right, log scale) and proportion (left) of sequences belonging to various types of identified prey taxa from 16 puffin adult, 22 puffin chick, and 28 herring samples. All samples produced at least one sequence for each gene. Only 20 (8 adult, 9 chick, 3 herring) of the 66 samples produced over 50 sequences per marker (Table 3).
