DOIAbstract
<p>Alpha diversity measures at 1000 sequences per sample in the different sites of canine skin (<i>x</i> axis). The <i>y</i> axis represent the data points for the Chao1 index (species predictor estimator) (A), number of observed species (B) and Shannon diversity index (diversity index that accounts for species abundance and evenness) (C) data points (<i>y</i> axis) for each skin site. Error bars represent the standard deviations. A: Axilla; C: Conjunctiva; CP: Concave pinna, DL: Dorsal lumbar; DN: Dorsal Nose; DP: Dorsal Perianal; E: Ear; G: Groin; I: Interdigital 4&5; LP: Lip commissure; N: Nostril; PO: Periocular.</p
