2026-03-05
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>The Antarctic fur seal (Arctocephalus gazella) plays a key role in the Antarctic marine ecosystem by regulating krill, fish, and cephalopod populations through selective foraging, promoting Southern Ocean productivity via excretion, and influencing coastal island ecosystems during breeding season. Despite the importance of the gut microbiota in reflecting diet, health, and environmental...
