Seasonal patterns of the gut microbiota in the Assamese macaques (Macaca assamensis) in a limestone forest in Guangxi, China
European Journal of Wildlife Research(2024)
摘要
Exploring the interaction between the gut microbiota and the host is beneficial for understanding the host’s adaptive potential and evolution. Whether Assamese macaques living in limestone habitats in Guangxi undergo cyclical shifts in their gut microbiota in the face of seasonal environmental changes, especially abundant rainfall from May to October and significantly reduced rainfall from November to April, remains unelucidated. In this study, 16S rRNA sequencing was used to analyze the gut microbiota composition of wild macaques in the limestone forest, Guangxi, and the seasonal pattern of their gut microbiota was explored using the combined data of diet composition, food availability index, and climate factors. The results indicated that Firmicutes and Proteobacteria were the dominant phyla in the gut of the Assamese macaques, and over 98
