“…Firmicutes has been reported as the most frequent phylum in fecal samples of cattle, horses (2,31,32) , and red deer (33) . This abundance is related to high fiber intake (34) . Verrucomicrobia was the second abundant phylum in the cattle samples in this study.…”

In Mexico, information on the bovine fecal microbiota (Bos taurus) is scarce. The present study describes the diversity and abundance of bacteria in fecal samples from rangeland bovines, collected in the Mapimi Biosphere Reserve in the central part of the Chihuahuan desert. Fecal samples were analysed using high-throughput next generation massive sequencing using V3-V4 16S rRNA on Illumina Miseq. A total of 17 phyla, 24 classes, 33 orders, 50 families, 281 genera, and 297 species were identified. Firmicutes and Verrucomicrobia were the most abundant phyla. The most abundant genera were Sporobacter, PAC000748_g (genera into the Ruminococcaceae family) and Eubacterium_g23. Three genera (Clostridium, Corynebacterium and Fusobacterium) and one species (Campylobacter fetus) potentially pathogenic bovine bacteria were registered. This information represents a bacteriological baseline for monitoring the grazing bovine intestinal health status, and to trace possible interactions with the fecal microbiota of native roaming wildlife in the area.

“…The gut microbiome can provide energy, in the form of short-chain fatty acids, to its host and maintain the gut homeostatic balance ( Gonçalves et al, 2018 ; Markowiak-Kopeć and Śliżewska, 2020 ). Many factors affect gut microbiome composition and function, including diet ( Huang et al, 2022 ), phylogeny ( Wang et al, 2019 ; Gregor et al, 2022 ), and environment ( Gacesa et al, 2022 ; Wang et al, 2022 ). When a factor surpasses the other influencing factors, the gut microbiome converges to adapt toward this dominant factor.…”

Convergent evolution is an important sector of evolutionary biology. High-altitude environments are one of the extreme environments for animals, especially in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, driving the inquiry of whether, under broader phylogeny, high-altitude factors drive the convergent evolution of Artiodactyla and Perissodactyla gut microbiomes. Therefore, we profiled the gut microbiome of Artiodactyla and Perissodactyla at high and low altitudes using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. According to cluster analyses, the gut microbiome compositions of high-altitude Artiodactyla and Perissodactyla were not grouped together and were far from those of low-altitude Artiodactyla and Perissodactyla. The Wilcoxon’s test in high-altitude ungulates showed significantly higher Sobs and Shannon indices than in low-altitude ungulates. At the phylum level, Firmicutes and Patescibacteria were significantly enriched in the gut microbiomes of high-altitude ungulates, which also displayed a higher Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes value than low-altitude ungulates. At the family level, Ruminococcaceae, Christensenellaceae, and Saccharimonadaceae were significantly enriched in the gut microbiomes of high-altitude ungulates. Our results also indicated that the OH and FH groups shared two significantly enriched genera, Christensenellaceae_R_7_group and Candidatus_Saccharimonas. These findings indicated that a high altitude cannot surpass the order level to drive the convergent evolution of ungulate gut microbiome composition but can drive the convergent evolution of alpha diversity and indicator microbiota in the gut microbiome of ungulates. Overall, this study provides a novel perspective for understanding the adaptation of ungulates to high-altitude environments.

“…The gut microbiome is an important factor for host adaptations to the environment (Wang et al, 2019 ; Wang, Shang, Wei, et al, 2022 ; Wang, Shang, Wu, et al, 2022 ; Wang, Wu, et al, 2022 ). Wang, Shang, Wu, et al ( 2022 ) found that the gut microbiome function of red and corsac foxes can help hosts adapt to different environmental niches.…”

“…Moreover, to adapt to plateau environments, short‐chain fatty acid (SCFA)‐producing bacteria are significantly enriched in the host gut (Li et al, 2016 ; Zhang et al, 2016 ). The gut microbiome also plays an important role in host health and survival (Davies et al, 2022 ; Gentile & Weir, 2018 ) and is dependent on various factors, such as diet (Greene et al, 2020 ; Wu et al, 2022 ), phylogeny (Sun et al, 2021 ; Wang et al, 2019 ), and habitat (Gacesa et al, 2022 ). Previous studies have shown that mammal gut microbiomes are strongly correlated with host phylogeny (Amato et al, 2019 ; Ley et al, 2008 ).…”

The gut microbiome can help the host adapt to a variety of environments and is affected by many factors. Marine carnivores have unique habitats in extreme environments. The question of whether marine habitats surpass phylogeny to drive the convergent evolution of the gut microbiome in marine carnivores remains unanswered. In the present study, we compared the gut microbiomes of 16 species from different habitats. Principal component analysis (PCA) and principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) separated three groups according to their gut microbiomes: marine carnivores, terrestrial carnivores, and terrestrial herbivores. The alpha diversity and niche breadth of the gut microbiome of marine carnivores were lower than those of the gut microbiome of terrestrial carnivores and terrestrial herbivores. The gut microbiome of marine carnivores harbored many marine microbiotas, including those belonging to the phyla Planctomycetes, Cyanobacteria, and Proteobacteria, and the genus Peptoclostridium . Collectively, these results revealed that marine habitats drive the convergent evolution of the gut microbiome of marine carnivores. This study provides a new perspective on the adaptive evolution of marine carnivores.
