Signatures of Landscape and Captivity in the Gut Microbiota of Southern Hairy-nosed Wombats (Lasiorhinus Latifrons)

Abstract: BackgroundHerbivorous mammals co-opt microbes to derive energy and nutrients from diets that are recalcitrant to host enzymes. Recent research has found that captive management—an important conservation tool for many species—can alter the gut microbiota of mammals. Such changes could negatively impact the ability of herbivorous mammals to derive energy from their native diets, and ultimately reduce host fitness. To date, nothing is known of how captivity influences the gut microbiota of the Southern Hairy-nose… Show more
