Microclimate shapes the phylosymbiosis of rodent gut microbiota in Jordan’s Great Rift Valley by Enas Al-khlifeh, Sanaz Khadem, Bela Hausmann, Bela Hausmann, David Berry, David Berry

“…In this study, we investigated the effects of host phylogeny and bioclimatic zone on the diversity and composition of the gut microbiota of two heterospecific rodent species, the spiny mouse Acomys cahirinus and the house mouse Mus musculus, in three bioclimatic zones of the African Great Rift Valley (GRV). We confirmed host phylogeny using the D-loop sequencing method and analyzed the influence of host phylogeny and bioclimatic zone parameters on the rodent gut microbiome using high-throughput amplicon sequencing of 16S rRNA gene fragments. …”
