Fecal Sample Collection Method for Wild Birds-Associated Microbiome Research: Perspectives for Wildlife Studies

Abstract: Gut microbial communities play important roles in host health, modulating development, nutrient acquisition, immune and metabolic regulation, behavior and diseases. Wildlife microbiome studies and host–microbe interaction and exploration might be an important goal for evolutionary biology, conservation, and ecology. Therefore, collection and sampling methods must be considered before choosing a microbiome-based research plan. Since the fecal microbial community reflects the true gut community better than that … Show more

“…The development of alternative respiratory tract sample collection methods in wildlife populations are needed in order to avoid such setbacks. The literature suggests the use of non-invasive and practical methods of fecal sample collection as substitute procedures when considering microbiome research, whereas oral and respiratory sampling methods are mainly performed in animals submitted to wildlife rehabilitation centres [12,[35][36][37].…”

“…Subsequently, they were deposited at the Laboratório de Taxonomia de Fungos LATAF in Universidade Federal do Pampa campus São Gabriel, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. In the collection zones, the fresh scats on soil, leaves, and fence were collected and stored under refrigeration (BORRELLI et al 2020).…”

“…The cuts were rehydrated in 5% KOH and arranged on the slide, covered with a coverslip. The method for microbial analysis of the scats was adapted as follows: placed in a Falcon 50 ml tube a portion of 0.5 g of scats for 1 hour in a solution containing ethanol (70% concentrated) diluted with water and two drops of liquid detergent (BORRELLI et al, 2020). The liquid was removed to the 5 ml mark, and the rest was macerated with the help of a stick.…”
