Abstract:Gut microbiomes can dramatically affect host health and fitness and can also be highly dynamic in response to changing environmental conditions. This intricate interplay between gut microbiota, environmental pressures, and host health necessitates accounting for all these variables when predicting the response of animals to a changing environment. These predictions are of broad concern but are highly relevant to conservation biology, and more specifically to populations transitioning from the wild to human car… Show more
