The diet–intestinal microbiota dynamics and adaptation in an elevational migration bird, the Himalayan bluetail (Tarsiger rufilatus)

Migratory birds experience changes in their environment and diet during seasonal migrations, thus requiring interactions between diet and gut microbes. Understanding the co-evolution of the host and gut microbiota is critical for elucidating the rapid adaptations of avian gut microbiota. However, dynamics of gut microbial adaptations concerning elevational migratory behavior, which is prevalent but understudied in montane birds remain poorly understood. We focused on the Himalayan bluetail (Tarsiger rufilatus) in the montane forests of Mt. Gongga to understand the diet-gut microbial adaptations of elevational migratory birds. Our findings indicate that elevational migratory movements can rapidly alter gut microbial composition and function within a month. There was a significant interaction between an animal-based diet and gut microbiota across migration stages, underscoring the importance of diet in shaping microbial communities. Furthermore, the gut microbial composition of T. rufilat..., , , # The diet–intestinal microbiota dynamics and adaptation in an elevational migration bird [https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.1jwstqk1n](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.1jwstqk1n) This dataset is a supplemental file based on Article **The diet–intestinal microbiota dynamics and adaptation in an elevational migration bird**.

Gongga）山地森林中的红胁蓝尾鸲（*Tarsiger rufilatus*）为研究对象，探究海拔迁徙鸟类的饮食-肠道微生物适应机制。研究结果表明，海拔迁徙活动可在一个月内快速改变肠道微生物的组成与功能。迁徙各阶段中，动物性饮食与肠道菌群之间存在显著的互作关系，凸显了饮食在塑造微生物群落结构中的重要性。此外，红胁蓝尾鸲的肠道菌群组成…… # 《海拔迁徙鸟类的饮食-肠道菌群动态与适应机制》 [https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.1jwstqk1n] 本数据集为论文《海拔迁徙鸟类的饮食-肠道菌群动态与适应机制》的补充文件，包含该论文中使用的样本编号、样本信息、引物信息及分析表格。本数据集可为关注该研究的脊椎动物肠道微生物学研究者提供数据参考。 ## 数据与文件结构说明 [Zhang, Shangmingyu 等 (2024年即将发表). 海拔迁徙鸟类红胁蓝尾鸲(*Tarsiger rufilatus*)的饮食-肠道菌群动态与适应机制 [数据集].
