Abstract
The prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) is an important model for the study of social monogamy and dual parental care of offspring. Characterization of specific host species-microbe strain interactions is critical for understanding the effects of the microbiota on mood and behavior. The five metagenome-assembled genome sequences reported here represent an important step in defining the prairie vole microbiome.

Summary
The prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) is an important model for the study of social monogamy and dual parental care of offspring. DNA was prepared from stool samples frozen at Ϫ80°C using the MoBio/QIAamp PowerFecal DNA kit, according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Qiagen USA). Libraries were prepared using the NEBNext Ultra II DNA library prep kit for Illumina (New England BioLabs, USA), following the manufacturer’s protocol.
