Gut microbiota in two recently diverged passerine species: evaluating the effects of species identity, habitat use and geographic distance

Abstract Background It has been proposed that divergence in the gut microbiota composition between incipient species could contribute to their reproductive isolation. Nevertheless, empirical evidence for the role of gut microbiota in speciation is scarce. Moreover, it is still largely unknown to wha...
