Are the gut microbial systems of giant pandas unstable?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Heliyon"
DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2019.e02480
Abstract: Animals have stable dominant gut microbiomes under similar diets. Similar diets can also lead to similar gut microbial communities within host species levels. Giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) and red pandas (Ailurus fulgens) have had long-term… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-07425-z
Abstract: Mammals host diverse bacterial and archaeal symbiont communities (i.e. microbiomes) that play important roles in digestive and immune system functioning, yet cetacean microbiomes remain largely unexplored, in part due to sample collection difficulties. Here, fecal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-04340-2
Abstract: Gut microbiomes were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding for polar bears ( Ursus maritimus ) from the southern Beaufort Sea (SB), where sea ice loss has led to increased use of land-based food resources… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2115013119
Abstract: SignificanceThe diversification of host-associated microbial communities depends on barriers to gene flow, imposed by confinement to different hosts or by niche partitioning within single hosts. However, most gut microbiomes are too complex to disentangle the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1758-2229.13077
Abstract: Activated carbon block (ACB) point-of-use (PoU) drinking water filters can change the bacterial composition in drinking water. Consuming ACB PoU filtered water may also influence gut microbiomes. This study uses the zebrafish model to evaluate… read more here.

Host phylogeny and functional traits differentiate gut microbiomes in a diverse natural community of small mammals
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Molecular Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/mec.16874
Abstract: Differences in the bacterial communities inhabiting mammalian gut microbiomes tend to reflect the phylogenetic relatedness of their hosts, a pattern dubbed phylosymbiosis. Although most research on this pattern has compared the gut microbiomes of host… read more here.
