State-Threatened Gopher Tortoise ( <i>Gopherus polyphemus</i> ) Gut Microbiome Analysis Reveals Health Insights into Southeastern Florida Population

2024-08-29

Abstract excerpt

The gopher tortoise ( Gopherus polyphemus ), endemic to the southeastern part of the United States, is a keystone species that provides ecological support to over 350 species. Deforestation, urbanization, road mortality, and disease, over the past 100 years, have caused population decline by over 80%, causing Florida to declare the gopher tortoise a threatened species. Little is known about the gopher tortoise gu...
