The influence of diet on gut microbiome and body mass dynamics in a capital-breeding migratory bird
Gut-associated microbial communities are known to play a vital role in the health and fitness of their hosts. Though studies investigating the factors associated with among-individual variation in microbiome structure in wild animal species are increasing, knowledge of this variation at the individu...
