Tipping points in gut ecology: a hidden resilience deficit in industrialised microbiomes

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> The Western gut microbiome is widely considered healthy, yet its defining feature relative to non-industrialised populations is not a fundamentally different composition but a contracted one: lower genus-level richness, reduced functional redundancy, and increased reliance on a narrow set of keystone taxa.
