Maternal gut microbes shape the early-life assembly of gut microbiota in passerine chicks via nests

Abstract Background Knowledge is growing on how gut microbiota are established, but the effects of maternal symbiotic microbes throughout early microbial successions in birds remain elusive. In this study, we examined the contributions and transmission modes of maternal microbes into the neonatal mi...
