Environmental disasters offer the unique opportunity for landscape-scale ecological and
evolutionary studies that are not possible in the laboratory or small experimental plots. The …

Buffalo is an important livestock species. Here, we present a comprehensive metagenomic
survey of the microbial communities along the buffalo digestive tract. We analysed 695 …

Background Goat is an important livestock worldwide, which plays an indispensable role in
human life by providing meat, milk, fiber, and pelts. Despite recent significant advances in …

Common culturing techniques and priorities bias our discovery towards specific traits that
may not be representative of microbial diversity in nature. So far, these biases have not been …

The chicken gut microbiota, as a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), poses a
high risk to humans and animals worldwide. Yet a comprehensive exploration of the chicken …

The giant panda, a strict herbivore that feeds on bamboo, still retains a typical carnivorous
digestive system. Reference catalogs of microbial genes and genomes are lacking, largely …

From the metagenome of a carbamazepine amended selective enrichment culture the
genome of a new to science bacterial species affiliating with the genus Nocardioides was …

The interaction between gut microbiota and muscles through the gut-muscle axis has
received increasing attention. This study attempted to address existing research gaps by …

In mammals, myrmecophagy (ant and termite consumption) represents a striking example of
dietary convergence. This trait evolved independently at least five times in placentals with …

Small mammals are bioindicator organisms, and, through their gut microbiota (GM), could be
carriers of pathogens and resistant bacteria. Also, wild GM composition has been suggested …
