Gut microbiota modulation enhances the immune capacity of lizards under climate warming

Abstract Background Host-microbial interactions are expected to affect species’ adaptability to climate change but have rarely been explored in ectothermic animals. Some studies have shown that short-term warming reduced gut microbial diversity that could hamper host functional performance. Results...
