A mixed model approach for estimating drivers of microbiota community composition and differential taxonomic abundance. Ecology Within Project 2013 and 2016 Data

Faecal samples from the Soay sheep population on the island of Hirta, St. Kilda, Scotland were analysed by metataxonomics to determine bacterial and archaeal composition. Samples from 2013 consisted of adult ewes and lambs sampled in August, while samples from 2016 were taken from a set of adult ewes sampled in April and again in August.

本研究通过宏分类组学（metataxonomics）分析苏格兰圣基尔达群岛赫塔岛上索伊羊种群的粪便样本，以明确其中细菌与古菌的群落组成。2013年的样本采集自8月的成年母羊与羔羊；2016年的样本取自一组成年母羊，分别于4月和8月完成两次采样。
