Microbial, dietary insect, and pathogen communities in fresh and decomposing guano of anthropic little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus) maternity colonies

2026-07-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The guano of insectivorous bats holds ecological information that can be assessed non-invasively to characterize the gut microbiome and diet, alongside environmental microbes and pathogens of conservation concern. Despite this potential, how guano communities change during decomposition remains understudied, particularly inside anthropic roosts rather than caves. In this study, guano from little...
