Figure 1: Rarefaction curves of prey data acquired from a) the pilot (n = 75), b) the upscaled sequencing run but with the copepod samples assessed in the pilot only (pilot full, n = 75), and c) the full upscaled sequencing (n = 437). Vertical red lines indicate in averages of a) 16 000, b) 74 000 and c) 119 000 prey reads per copepod. Slopes indicate the average number of prey zOTUs discovered with each new read sequenced.
