Metagenomic analyses of gut microbiome composition and function with age in a wild bird; little change, except increased transposase gene abundance
Abstract. Studies on wild animals, mostly undertaken using 16S metabarcoding, have yielded ambiguous evidence regarding changes in the gut microbiome (GM)

Sexual selection matters in genetic rescue, but productivity benefits fade over time: a multi-generation experiment to inform conservation | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Globally, many species are threatened by population decline because of anthropogenic changes leading to population fragmentation, genetic isolation and inbreeding depression. Genetic rescue, the controlled introduction of genetic variation, is a method ...
