Seasonal Variation in Gut Microbiota of the Wild Daurian Ground Squirrel (<i>Spermophilus dauricus</i>): Metagenomic Insights into Seasonal Breeding

The <i>Spermophilus dauricus,</i> the wild Daurian ground squirrel, is known to exhibit seasonal breeding behavior. Although the importance of gut microbiota in animal digestion, metabolism, and immunity is well-established, the correlation between gut microbiota and seasonal breeding in...
