Microbial community composition varies among body regions and with breeding group membership in a highly social joint-nesting bird

Supplementary information from "Microbial community composition varies among body regions and with breeding group membership in a highly social joint-nesting bird", including 16S rRNA gene sequencing read count data and taxonomic assignments, supplemental results and figures and metadata. Data used to test predictions that symbiotic microbiota differ among body regions and that breeding group members share more similar microbiota than non-group members.

本数据集为论文《高度社会化共巢鸟类的微生物群落组成随身体区域及繁殖群体归属而异》的补充信息，包含16S rRNA基因测序（16S rRNA gene sequencing）读长计数数据、分类学注释、补充结果与图表以及元数据（metadata）。该数据集用于验证两项预设预测：共生微生物群（symbiotic microbiota）在不同身体区域存在组成差异，且繁殖群体成员间的微生物群相似性高于非群体成员。
