Microbiota of the uropygial secretion of the Eurasian hoopoe (Upupa epops epops)
We sampled wild and captive populations of hoopoes (Upupa epops epops) in Southern Spain during 2010, 2011 and 2012, collecting the uropygial secretion of individuals of diferent sex (females and males), age (adults and nestlings) and reproductive status (breeding and unpaired), and studied their microbiota by pyrosequencing (Roche 454) of the V1–V3 region of the 16S rDNA.
