Exploring the potential effects of forest urbanization on the interplay between small mammal communities and their gut microbiota
Abstract Urbanization significantly impacts wild populations, favoring urban dweller species over those that are unable to adapt to rapid changes. These differential adaptative abilities could be mediated by the microbiome, which may modulate the host phenotype rapidly through a high degree of flexi...
