Multifaceted approaches are required to monitor wildlife populations and improve
conservation efforts. In the last decade, increasing evidence suggests that metagenomic …

Human evolution has been punctuated by climate anomalies, structuring environments,
deadly infections, and altering landscapes. How well humans adapted to these new …

Studies in multiple host species have shown that gut microbial diversity and composition
change during pregnancy and lactation. However, the specific mechanisms underlying …

Background Inter-population variation in host-associated microbiota reflects differences in
the hosts' environments, but this characterization is typically based on studies comparing …

Human exploitation and destruction of tropical resources are currently threatening
innumerable wild animal species, altering natural ecosystems and thus, food resources, with …

Aging is a multifactorial process characterized by progressive changes in gut physiology
and the intestinal mucosal immune system. These changes, along with alterations in …

Microbial rewilding, whereby exposure to naturalistic environments can modulate or
augment gut microbiomes and improve host-microbe symbiosis, is being harnessed as an …

Increasing anthropogenic disturbances in Madagascar are exerting constrains on endemic
Malagasy lemurs and their habitats, with possible effects on their health and survival. An …

Food supply is one of the major drivers of animal behavior, and the gut microbiome is an
important mediator between food supply and its effects on physiology. However, predicting …

The gut microbiome has the potential to buffer temporal variations in resource availability
and consumption, which may play a key role in the ability of animals to adapt to a broad …
