Sequences from the uropygial gland skin in a brood parastie - host system: great spotted cuckoos (Clamator glandarius) and Eurasian magpies (Pica pica)

In this study, we aim to understand the influence of the social environment (rearing with a distantly related species) on the uropygial gland skin microbiota of magpies growing with or without great spotted cuckoos. We used the V6-V8 region from the 16S rRNA gene.
