Afro-alpine_taxonomic_ref_library_v2

Sequences of the taxonomic reference library version 2.0 for the African alpine flora. Sequences cover the P6 loop of the trnL. Header lines contain the species names followed by identity numbers (O-DP numbers) that correspond to specimen numbers in the herbarium of the Natural History Museum, University of Oslo, Norway

The ten most preferred diet items for the Walia ibex and domestic goat representing 15 MOTUs altogether.

<p>Yellow bars and circles for Walia ibex and blue bars and squares for domestic goat. Bars represent the proportion of faecal samples for each of the target species, in which the specified diet items were detected. Symbols connected by lines represent the cumulative percentage of diet items given as the proportion of all sequence reads from each of the target species.</p

Detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) scores of diet content in samples found in Walia ibex (yellow circles) and domestic goat (blue squares).

<p>a) based on occurrence (presence/absence) and b) based on abundance of the 54 MOTUs. The DCA diagram is scaled in standard deviations units, which means that samples that are four units apart on average have a complete turnover in species (MOTU) composition. The same plant species are therefore unlikely to be found in samples that are more than four DCA units apart in the diagram.</p

Sample-based rarefaction curves for the two species studied.

<p>a) Walia ibex diet (N = 23) and b) domestic goat diet (N = 16), for MOTU’s represented by >10 sequence reads. Blue curves represent the upper and lower limits of the 95% confidence intervals.</p

<p>Collection sites of the individual samples are shown (yellow circles: Walia ibex; blue squares: domestic goat). The dashed line indicates the main habitat range of the Walia ibex.</p
