Host diet and evolutionary history explain different aspects of gut microbiome diversity among vertebrate clades
Host phylogeny and diet are major explanatory factors of animal gut microbiome diversity, but our understanding of these associations is limited by a focus on captive animals and a narrow taxonomic scope. Here, the authors isolate evolutionary and ecological drivers of gut microbiomes from wild mamm...

| Sumario: | Host phylogeny and diet are major explanatory factors of animal gut microbiome diversity, but our understanding of these associations is limited by a focus on captive animals and a narrow taxonomic scope. Here, the authors isolate evolutionary and ecological drivers of gut microbiomes from wild mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. |
