From: Skin and gut microbiomes of a wild mammal respond to different environmental cues
Measures of alpha diversity for the skin microbiome of bank voles inhabiting areas that differ in levels of environmental radiation. Box-and-whisker plots represent the median and interquartile range of alpha diversity estimates (i.e. number of observed OTUs, Shannon index). Each box plot represent a replicate site from contaminated (CH1-3) and uncontaminated (CL1-2) with radionuclides areas within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and uncontaminated area near Kyiv (KL1-2), Ukraine
