Variation in Small Mammal Species Composition and the Occurrence of Parasitic Mites in Two Landscapes in a Scrub Typhus Endemic Region of Western Yunnan Province, China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Yunnan Province, the most serious scrub typhus endemic areas in China, provides abundant ecological resources that sustain parasite and host populations. The distribution of vector‐borne diseases is driven by interactions between hosts, vectors and the environment, revealing critical ecological dynamics.

Mammals show distinct functional gut microbiome dynamics to identical series of environmental stressors

mBio, 2023
The ability of the gut microbiome has been posited as an additional axis of animals’ phenotypic plasticity. However, whether and how such plasticity varies across hosts with different biological features remains unclear.
