Subspecific variation in gut microbiota of North American bison in a sympatric setting reveals differentially abundant taxa

Subspecific variation in gut microbiota of North American bison in a sympatric setting reveals differentially abundant taxa

Abstract Gut microbiomes play critical roles in host-environment interactions, reflecting habitat and foraging niches. North American bison (Bison bison) subspecies—plains bison (B. bison bison) and wood bison (B. bison athabascae)—exhibit limited genetic variation from historic population bottlenec...
