Divergence of Fecal Microbiota and Their Associations With Host Phylogeny in Cervinae

Divergence of Fecal Microbiota and Their Associations With Host Phylogeny in Cervinae

Gastrointestinal microbiota may shape the adaptation of their hosts to different habitats and lifestyles, thereby driving their evolutionary diversification. It remains unknown if gastrointestinal microbiota diverge in congruence with the phylogenetic relationships of their hosts. To evaluate the ph...
