The role transition of dietary species richness in modulating the gut microbial assembly and postweaning performance of a generalist herbivore

The role transition of dietary species richness in modulating the gut microbial assembly and postweaning performance of a generalist herbivore

When facing a food shortage, generalist herbivores can respond by expanding their dietary species richness (DSR) to maximize energy collection, regardless of whether forages are preferred or not. Higher DSR usually indicates higher nutrient adequacy and better health. However, the high-DSR diet cont...
