Captive and urban environments are associated with distinct gut microbiota in deer mice ( Peromyscus maniculatus )

Abstract excerpt

Animals in captive and urban environments encounter evolutionarily novel conditions shaped by humans, such as altered diets, exposure to human-associated bacteria, and, potentially, medical interventions. Captive and urban environments have been demonstrated to affect gut microbial composition and diversity independently but have not yet been studied together. By sequencing the gut microbiota of deer mice living...
