Taxonomic, genomic, and functional variation in the gut microbiomes of wild spotted hyenas across two decades of study

Abstract: The gut microbiome provides vital functions for mammalian hosts, yet research on the variability and function of the microbiome across adult lifespans and multiple generations is limited in large mammalian carnivores. Here we use 16S rRNA gene and metagenomic sequencing to profile the taxonomic composition, genomic diversity, and metabolic function of the gut microbiome of 12 wild spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) residing in the Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya over a 23-year period spanning three generation… Show more
