Environmental DNA (eDNA) Metabarcoding Pilot Study On National Wildlife Refuges - Tabular Data

This reference contains tabular datasets resulting from the eDNA pilot study on National Wildlife Refuges.

1. ZIP file contains all datasets as received from the authors: a folder for each participating refuge containing two Excel workbooks, one for the MiFish marker results and one for the COI marker results. Each workbook has several sheets including one for the raw compiled data, one for each site, and filtered combined data.

2. CSV of filtered data for all participating refuges combined. This dataset was compiled by extracting the filtered datasheet for each refuge from the excel workbook and combining them into a CSV using an r script.

3. CSV of the total OTU, OTU species, unique families, and number of fish, mammal, amphibian, mollusk, and bird species for each participating refuge. This csv was compiled by Rachel Maxey (I&M Data Manager) by extracting the data from the refuge workbooks and combining manually into a CSV.

4. CSV of the full Site data download from Survey 123.

5. Data dictionaries and metadata for site information and eDNA results tables.
