Gut Microbiota and Phytoestrogen-Associated Infertility in Southern White Rhinoceros

Gut Microbiota and Phytoestrogen-Associated Infertility in Southern White Rhinoceros

Southern white rhinoceros (SWR) poaching has reached record levels, and captive infertility has rendered SWR assurance populations no longer self-sustaining. Previous work has identified dietary phytoestrogens as a likely cause of this problem. Here, we investigate the role of gut microbiota in this...
