Study on intestinal microbes of plateau zokor (PRJCA046519)
This study aims to investigate the effects of sex and seasonal variation on the gut microbiota of plateau zokors. By comparing microbial diversity, community structure, and functional potential between males and females as well as summer and winter samples, we seek to reveal how sex differences and environmental changes shape microbial communities and their assembly processes. The results will help us better understand how microbes and hosts interact, as well as how small rodents adapt in high-altitude environments.
