Wild microbiomes of striped plateau lizards vary with reproductive season, sex, and body size
Abstract Long-term studies of animal microbiomes under natural conditions are valuable for understanding the effects of host demographics and environmental factors on host-associated microbial communities, and how those effects interact and shift over time. We examined how the cloacal microbiome of...
