Composition and Drivers of Gut Microbial Communities in Arctic-Breeding Shorebirds

To examine the relationships between aboveground carbon stocks of trees and tree species richness, diversity and evenness along gradients of physiographic conditions and

Analyses of 16S rRNA gene copy yields found that bacterial numbers decreased with increasing humidity, peaked during spring for air sam- ples (Additional file 1: Table S4; Figure

Furthermore, the purpose of this project also included finding out whether Legionella bacterial cells could be dispersed as aerosols from the aeration ponds at Borregaard’s

Our goals were: (i) to perform an overall comparison of the microbial community composition of gut samples collected in a presumably pristine northern area of Norway and in a

In all models, the baseline group was nests where parents had only leg bands (effect size of zero; dotted line). a) Estimates from one model per species where nests were grouped

Figure 9: The study setup for A) measurement of butterfly abundance and species richness B) predation on artificial caterpillars and C) extent of herbivory and herbivore

Spatial and seasonal variation in microbial community composition The microbial community compositions of the water samples collected from the four sampling wells

We measured environmental toxicants in breastmilk, fecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and gut microbial composition from 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing using samples from
