Data from: DNA metabarcoding reveals the broad and flexible diet of a declining aerial insectivore
Beverly McClenaghan, Erica Nol & Kevin C.R. Kerr
Aerial insectivores are highly mobile predators that feed on diverse prey items that have highly variable distributions. As such, investigating the diet, prey selection, and prey availability of aerial insectivores can be challenging. In this study, we used an integrated DNA barcoding method to investigate the diet and food supply of Barn Swallows, an aerial insectivore whose North American population has declined over the past 40 years. We tested the hypotheses that Barn Swallows are...
