Data from: Gut microflora may facilitate adaptation to anthropic habitat: a comparative study in Rattus
Anthropophilic species ('commensal' species) that are completely dependent upon anthropic habitats experience different selective pressures particularly in terms of food than their non-commensal counterparts. Using a next-generation-sequencing approach, we characterized and compared the gu...
