Integrating Gut Bacterial Diversity and Captive Husbandry to Optimize Vulture Conservation

Integrating Gut Bacterial Diversity and Captive Husbandry to Optimize Vulture Conservation

Endangered species recovery plans often include captive breeding and reintroduction, but success remains rare. Critical for effective recovery is an assessment of captivity-induced changes in adaptive traits of reintroduction candidates. The gut microbiota is one such trait and is particularly impor...
