Spatiotemporal and Host Variations in Faecal Microbiomes of Hairy‐Nosed Wombats (Lasiorhinus spp.)

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The gut microbiome can play a critical role in humans and wildlife, assisting with digestion, immunity and detoxification. This community is often adapted to the animal's ecosystem and fluctuates with seasonal shifts in diet. The gut microbiome can also be altered by anthropogenic effects such as invasive species creating increasingly ...

Le régime alimentaire des Gorilles de plaine de l’Est, Gorilla beringei graueri et la pharmacopée humaine : Alimentation ou automédication ?

Revue de Primatologie, 2022
