The gut microbiota of three avian species living in sympatry

The gut microbiota of three avian species living in sympatry

Abstract Background Evolutionary divergence and genetic variation are often linked to differences in microbial community structure and diversity. While environmental factors and diet heavily influence gut microbial communities, host species contributions are harder to quantify. Closely related speci...
