DNA Microsatellite Markers for Northern Fulmar (Fulmaris glacialis) and Cross-species Amplification in Select Seabird Species

USGS Alaska Science Center, Molecular Ecology Laboratory (MEL) alphanumeric label that uniquely identifies each sample.

Unique field identification code, used to mark individual birds in the field. Five-digit numbers indicate a metal leg band issued by the USGS Bird Banding Laboratory, Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, Patuxent, Maryland. Six-digit numbers indicate the individual was banded and information maintained by the Iceland Bird Banding Office. Blank cells indicate that the bird was not banded.

The sex of the sampled bird, as reported to the laboratory by the source providing the DNA or DNA source tissue to the laboratory. Blank cells indicate information was not provided.

Latitude of field collection site. Blank cells indicate information is not available.

Longitude of field collection site. Blank cells indicate information is not available.

The date the sample was collected in the field. If the specific date is not known, then this is the start date of the field collection effort. Blank cells indicate a specific date or date range is not available.

The date the sample was collected in the field. If the specific date is not known, then this is the start date of the field collection effort. Blank cells indicate a specific date or date range is not available.

Samples obtained opportunistically sometimes have incomplete collection information preventing assignment of a specific collection date. Less precise dates are given here when available. Blank cells indicate a specific date or date range has been given in the Field_collection_start and/or Field_collection_end, or if all three are blank, indicates sampling date information is unavailable.

Blood or tissue samples are often received in a storage medium. Blank cells indicate the storage medium is unknown.

These 72 columns represent 36 autosomal microsatellite loci. Each microsatellite locus genotype is represented by two adjacent columns (i.e., allele1 and allele2) each containing one allele score. NP indicates resulting PCR product was absent or of insufficient quality to enable analysis. Blank cells indicate data were not collected for the sample. Locus names and order of presentation: Dc16, De7, 12H8, Fugl26, Fugl51, FuglDe11, Hbau4, Paequ3, Paequ4, Ruff50, Fgl001, Fgl002, Fgl003,Fgl004, Fgl005, Fgl006, Fgl007, Fgl008, Fgl009, Fgl010, Fgl011, Fgl012, Fgl013, Fgl014, Fgl015, Fgl016, Fgl017, Fgl018, Fgl019, Fgl020, Fgl021, Fgl022, Fgl023, Fgl024, Fgl025, Fgl026. These microsatellite data cannot be combined with data generated outside the Alaska Science Center without molecular size calibration between laboratories.
