Enterotypes of the Gut Microbial Community and Their Response to Plant Secondary Compounds in Plateau Pikas

Enterotypes of the Gut Microbial Community and Their Response to Plant Secondary Compounds in Plateau Pikas

Animal gut microbiomes can be clustered into “enterotypes” characterized by an abundance of signature genera. The characteristic determinants, stability, and resilience of these community clusters remain poorly understood. We used plateau pika (<i>Ochotona curzoniae</i>) as a model and i...
