Fig.Ā 1From: Microbial community and diversity in the feces of Sichuan takin (Budorcas taxicolor tibetana) as revealed by Illumina Miseq sequencing and quantitative real-time PCRDifferences in microbial community diversity and richness between wild and captive takins. Diversity and richness were measured by Shannon index, Chao1, PD whole tree and observed species respectively. Different lowercase letters above the boxplots indicate significant differences between groups (Pā<ā0.05, MannāWhitney U test)Back to article page
