16S rRNA gene‐based meta‐analysis of the reptile gut microbiota reveals environmental effects, host influences and a limited core microbiota

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 22, Page 6044-6058, November 2023., 2023
Abstract An animal's gut microbiota plays an important role in host health, reproduction and digestion. However, many studies focus on only a few individuals or a single species, limiting our ability to recognize emergent patterns across a wider taxonomic grouping.

Using functional traits to identify conservation priorities for the world's crocodylians

Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 112-124, January 2023., 2023
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Over half of all crocodylians are threatened with extinction, with many species considered to be functionally extinct throughout their historical ranges. How such losses impact crocodylian functional diversity (FD) and its conservation is poorly understood, but can be ...
