Mammal Microbiomes

The aim of this module is to:

  1. Understand the relevancy of linking genomes to phenomes to understand physiology leveraging knowledge of collaborative research projects in the gut microbiome of herbivores
  2. Demonstrate basic analyses of microbiota data
  3. Determine if and how communities differ by variables of interest
  4. Perform various measurements characterizing microbial community diversity, composition, and structure

This module has been used in BSU's Mammalogy (ZOOL 421) course.
