Strongylid and Microbiome Communities in Mountain Gorillas with Chronic Wasting

3.0 MB of R data objects and scripts for analyzing parasite and microbiome communities. The dataset includes phyloseq objects for strongylid and microbiome communities, created by Peter Samas and last updated on 2026-04-17. It is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.

Use Cases

• Analyzing shifts in strongylid parasite communities based on the provided phyloseq object
• Investigating correlations between the gut microbiome and chronic wasting disease based on the microbiome phyloseq object
• Reproducing ecological community analyses using the included R script

Strengths

• Data is structured for immediate analysis with the widely-used R phyloseq package
• Includes both analysis script (R_script_submit.R) and processed data objects for reproducibility
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license

Limitations

• Row count and sample size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
