Food or family? How gut microbes respond to diet and phylogeny in two deer species

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Vertebrate herbivores require symbiotic gastrointestinal (GI) microbes to extract energy and nutrients from fibrous and sometimes toxic plant diets. Because GI microbes vary in their relative abundance, function, and degree of specialization, the microbial community depends on both the characteristics of plants consumed and the anatomical ...

Seasonal Adaptation of the Gut Microbiome in Japanese Macaques: Linking Gut Microbiome Shifts With Fermentative Function

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
Seasonal dietary shifts in Japanese macaques drive changes in gut microbiome composition and function. While overall diversity remains stable, microbial communities adapt by modulating fermentative processes, ensuring efficient and stable energy extraction from leaves while responding flexibly to non‐leaf foods.

Small Grain Forage Trial Nitrogen Fertility and Harvest Date [PDF]

, 2012
Cool season annual forages, such as cereal grains, can provide early season grazing as well as high quality stored feed. However, it is unclear if quality and yield of these forages could be improved through better fertility management.

Multi‐omics reveal the gut microbiota‐mediated severe foraging environment adaption of small wild ruminants in the Three‐River‐Source National Park, China

Integrative Zoology, Volume 20, Issue 5, Page 916-935, September 2025.
This research reveals the gut microbiota‐mediated severe foraging environment adaptation of wild small ruminants in the Three‐River‐Source National Park. Unlike Tibetan sheep (TS), blue sheep (PN and Tibetan antelope (TA) often grazed low‐quality herbage in a wildness environment, and the higher microbial diversity and resilient network characteristics

Avaliação do vício de "tempo longo" de indicadores internos em ensaio de digestão com ruminantes Evaluation of internal markers long term bias in a digestion assay with ruminants

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2007
Realizou-se um ensaio de digestão com 20 ovinos machos, castrados, para avaliar o viés de "tempo longo" (VTL) dos indicadores internos: matéria seca indigestível (MSi) e fibra em detergente neutro (FDNi) e ácido (FDAi) indigestíveis.
