Influence of human activity on gut microbiota and immune responses of Darwin’s finches in the Galápagos Islands

2022-02-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Urbanization can influence animal traits, including immunity and gut microbiota. Over the past several decades, the Galápagos Islands have seen rapid resident human population growth and tourist activity, leading to varying levels of human activity across Islands. Consequently, diet, gut microbiota, and immunity of endemic animals, such as Darwin’s finches, may have changed. The goal of this stu...
