Distinct microbiotas of anatomical gut regions display idiosyncratic seasonal variation in an avian folivore

Abstract Background Current knowledge about seasonal variation in the gut microbiota of vertebrates is limited to a few studies based on mammalian fecal samples. Seasonal changes in the microbiotas of functionally distinct gut regions remain unexplored. We investigated seasonal variation (summer ver...
