Gut microbiota differs between two cold-climate lizards distributed in thermally different regions
Abstract Background The metabolic cold-climate adaption hypothesis predicts that animals from cold environments have relatively high metabolic rates compared with their warm-climate counterparts. However, studies testing this hypothesis are sparse. Here, we compared gut microbes between two cold-cli...
