The MAZE.ROE research project aims at characterizing the gut microbiota and the diet composition of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) in the Italian Alps, by applying a metataxonomic approach coupled with high-throughput sequencing (Illumina). A total amount of 384 fecal samples, collected from roe deers in the Trento province (years 2013-2014) and the Valle d'Aosta region (2013), were selected for the study. Preliminary results obtained during a pilot study on a limited number of fecal samples deriving from 3 roe deers individuals confirmed the feasibility of the whole project, which is currently in progress.
