Nutrient Stoichiometry Shapes Microbial Community Structure in an Evaporitic Shallow Pond.

abstract：:The digestive tract microbiota (DTM) plays a plethora of functions that enable hosts to exploit novel niches. However, our understanding of the DTM of birds, particularly passerines, and the turnover of microbial communities along the digestive tract are limited. To better understand how passerine DTMs are assembled, ...
