Methanogenic patterns in the gut microbiome are associated with survival in a population of feral horses
Gut microbiomes are widely hypothesised to influence host fitness and have been
experimentally shown to affect host health and phenotypes under laboratory conditions …

Sociability in a non-captive macaque population is associated with beneficial gut bacteria
The relationship between social behaviour and the microbiome is known to be reciprocal.

Longitudinal gut microbiome dynamics in relation to age and senescence in a wild animal population
In humans, gut microbiome (GM) differences are often correlated with, and sometimes
causally implicated in, ageing. However, it is unclear how these findings translate in wild …

The long-term gut bacterial signature of a wild primate is associated with a timing effect of pre-and postnatal maternal glucocorticoid levels
Background During development, elevated levels of maternal glucocorticoids (GCs) can
have detrimental effects on offspring morphology, cognition, and behavior as well as …

Gut microbiota individuality is contingent on temporal scale and age in wild meerkats
Inter-individual differences in gut microbiota composition are hypothesized to generate
variation in host fitness—a premise for the evolution of host–gut microbe symbioses …

Bacteroidetes to Firmicutes: captivity changes the gut microbiota composition and diversity in a social subterranean rodent
Background In mammals, the gut microbiota has important effects on the health of their
hosts. Recent research highlights that animal populations that live in captivity often differ in …

Aging gut microbiota of wild macaques are equally diverse, less stable, but progressively personalized
Background Pronounced heterogeneity of age trajectories has been identified as a hallmark
of the gut microbiota in humans and has been explained by marked changes in lifestyle and …

Linking migration and microbiota at a major stopover site in a long-distance avian migrant
Migration is one of the most physical and energetically demanding periods in an individual
bird's life. The composition of the bird's gut or cloacal microbiota can temporarily change …
