Monitoring the variation in the gut microbiota of captive woolly monkeys related to changes in diet during a reintroduction process

Abstract Microbiome is known to play an important role in the health of organisms and different factors such as diet have been associated with modifications in microbial communities. Differences in the microbiota composition of wild and captive animals has been evaluated; however, variation during a...
