Distinct responses to extreme temperatures between warm-climate and cold-climate lizards: Evidence from the gut microbiota. lizard metagenome

In this study, we exposed warm-climate lizard (Leiolepis reevesii) and cold-climate lizard (Phrynocephalus przewalskii) to three different temperatures for two weeks, to explore the contribution of the fecal and gut microbiota to host thermal adaption.
