Intestinal biogeography of the coyote gut microbiome

The purpose of this study was to characterize the gut microbiome at different sites along the intestinal tract of coyotes (Canis latrans). We purposefully did not control for variation in diet in order to evaluate microbiome composition in free-living organisms in uncontrolled environments.

本研究旨在解析郊狼（Canis latrans）肠道不同区段的肠道微生物组特征。为了评估非受控环境中野生生物的微生物组组成，本研究刻意未对饮食差异进行控制。
