Metagenomic and metabolomics studies on the mechanism of non-expression of natural reproductive behavior in captive male Malayan pangolins (Manis javanica)

Through metagenomics and metabolomics, we screened key microorganisms and metabolites between male Malayan pangolins with normal reproduction and those with abnormal reproduction, explored their functions and metabolic pathways, and found key biomarkers, providing important references for endangered species with abnormal reproduction.
