  1. The table shows the average of Good’s coverage as well as richness, diversity, Chao1 and ACE species estimators of blow samples per dolphin and number of intra-core zOTUs over a period of five months (weeks 6, 11, 19, 28). Gemma and Stella were not included in the calculation of intra-core zOTUs, as they lacked the according samples (No of core zOTUs: NA)
