The fine balance between symbiotic and potentially opportunistic and/or pathogenic
microorganisms can undergo quantitative alterations, which, when associated with low …

The detrimental effects of plastics on aquatic organisms, including those of macroplastics,
microplastics, and nanoplastics, have been well established. However, knowledge on the …

Understanding the factors that shape microbiomes can provide insight into the importance of
host–symbiont interactions and on co‐evolutionary dynamics. Unlike for mammals, previous …

Environmental variation can shape the gut microbiome, but broad/large‐scale data on
among and within‐population heterogeneity in the gut microbiome and the associated …

Avian gut microbial communities are complex and play a fundamental role in regulating
biological functions within an individual. Although it is well established that diet can …

Background The gut microbiome influences its host in a myriad of ways, from immune
system development to nutrient utilization. However, our understanding of the relationship …

The animal gut microbiota is strongly influenced by environmental factors that shape their
temporal dynamics. Although diet is recognized as a major driver of gut microbiota variation …

Gut microbiota regulate multiple aspects of host health, including metabolism and the
development of the immune system. However, we still know relatively little about how the gut …

Studying the diversity of gut microbiota and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in
endangered migratory birds, as well as their responses to different environments, can reflect …

The gut microbiome can be thought of as a virtual organ given its immense metabolic
capacity and profound effects on host physiology. Migratory birds are capable of adaptively …
