Comparative gut microbiota of 59 Neotropical bird species
The gut microbiota of vertebrates are essential to host health. Most non-model systems, however, lack even a basic description of natural gut microbiota biodiversity. Here, we sampled 116 intestines from 59 Neotropical bird species and used the V6 region of the 16S rRNA molecule as a microbial finge...
