Gut bacterial microbiome of Carabus convexus

Gut bacterial microbiome of a forest specialist ground beetle, Carabus convexus, in forested rural vs. urban habitats was studied by next generation high-throughput sequencing of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene, using amplicon sequence variants. The results of this study are being published in a paper entitled "Urbanization reduces gut bacterial microbiome diversity in a specialist ground beetle, Carabus convexus" in the Molecular Ecology.
