Appendix C. Neighbor-joining bootstrapped dendograms of the mitochondrial 16S gene were constructed using the Jukes Cantor correction for (i) sequences obtained from the identified Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) prey inventory and their respective taxa as published in GenBank (Nucleic Acids Research 2005 January 13;33(Database Issue):D34-D36) and (ii) sequences obtained from the identified Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) fish prey inventory along with their respective taxa as published in GenBank (Nucleic Acids Research 2005 January 13;33(Database Issue):D34-D36), as well as the fish prey items amplified and identified from Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) soft scat matrix collected across British Columbia and the Eastern Aleutian Island.
