Patterns of the fecal microbiota in the Juan Fernández fur seal (Arctocephalus philippii)
C Toro‐Valdivieso, F Toro, S Stubbs… - …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
As apex predators, pinnipeds are considered to be useful bioindicators of marine and
coastal environments. Endemic to a small archipelago in the South Pacific, the Juan
Fernandez fur seal (JFFS) is one of the less‐studied members of the pinniped family
Otariidae. This study aimed to characterize the fecal microbiome of the JFFS for the first time,
to establish a baseline for future studies of host–microbial–environment interactions and
monitoring programs. During two consecutive reproductive seasons, 57 fecal samples were …
