Microbial communities are thermally more sensitive in warm-climate lizards compared with their cold-climate counterparts

Environmental temperature affects the composition, structure, and function of the gut microbial communities in host animals. To elucidate the role of gut microbiota in thermal adaptation, we designed a 2 species × 3 temperatures experiment, whereby we acclimated adult males of two agamid lizard spec...
