# 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing of intestinal microbiota in Eurasian Wigeon around Osaka, Japan

## TL;DR

This study provides baseline data on the intestinal microbiomes of Eurasian Wigeons in Osaka, Japan, using 16S rRNA sequencing.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in presenting 16S rRNA amplicon data for the intestinal microbiota of a migratory bird species in this region.

## Key findings

- The study documents the succession of intestinal microbiomes in Eurasian Wigeons.
- It provides baseline data for future comparisons with other migratory bird microbiomes.

## Abstract

We report 16S rRNA gene amplicon data on the succession of intestinal microbiomes in migratory bird, Eurasian Wigeon (Mareca Penelope) wintering around Osaka, Japan. This study could serve as baseline data for comparison with microbiomes in migratory birds.
