Winter warming shapes gut microbiome composition and directional dysbiosis in a temperate lizard

2026-02-21

Abstract excerpt

Environmental temperature shapes ectotherm gut microbiomes through direct effects on community structure and indirect effects mediated by host physiology. Due to climate change, winter temperatures are rising, in some regions faster than summer temperatures. However, warming effects on the microbiome during overwintering remain poorly understood compared to the active season, limiting predictions of host-microbiom...
