Abstract In humans, gut microbiome (GM) differences are often correlated with, and sometimes causally implicated in, ageing. However, it is unclear how these findings translate in wild animal populations. Studies that investigate GM dynamics change within individuals, with declines physiological condition, needed to fully understand links between chronological age, senescence the GM, but have rarely been done. Here, we use longitudinal data collected from a closed population of Seychelles...
Abstract Studies on wild animals, mostly undertaken using 16S metabarcoding, have yielded ambiguous evidence regarding changes in the gut microbiome (GM) with age and senescence. Furthermore, variation GM function has rarely been studied such populations, despite metabolic characteristics potentially being associated host senescent declines. Here, we used 7 years of repeated sampling individuals shotgun metagenomic sequencing to investigate taxonomic functional Seychelles warblers...
The human gut contains a complex microbiota dominated by bacteriophages but also containing other viruses and bacteria fungi. There are growing number of techniques for the extraction, sequencing, analysis virome currently no standardized protocols. This study established an effective workflow to investigate stool samples from two understudied ethnic groups Malaysia: Jakun Jehai Orang Asli. By using extraction with Oxford Nanopore Technology, long-read sequencing successfully captured close...

Environmental variation is a key factor shaping microbiome communities in wild animals. However, most studies have focussed on separate populations distributed over large spatial scales. How ecological factors shape inter-individual within single landscape and host population remains poorly understood. Here, we use dense sampling of individuals natural, closed Seychelles warblers Cousin Island (<0.7 km diameter, 0.34 km2 total area) to determine whether gut exhibit high-resolution...
