Background Gut microbes has become one of the research hotspots in animal ecology,
playing an important role in monitoring dietary adaptation and health status of host …

Animals have stable dominant gut microbiomes under similar diets. Similar diets can also
lead to similar gut microbial communities within host species levels. Giant pandas …

Bamboo specialization is one of the most extreme examples of convergent herbivory, yet it is
unclear how this specific high-fiber diet might selectively shape the composition of the gut …

The rise in infections by antibiotic‐resistant bacteria poses a serious public health problem
worldwide. The gut microbiome of animals is a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes …

Intestinal diseases are one of the main causes of captive giant panda death. Their special
dietary habits and gastrointestinal tract structure often lead to intestinal epithelium damage …

Mammalian herbivores have developed numerous adaptations to utilize their plant-based
diets including a modified gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and symbiosis with a GIT microbiota …

Introduction Microbial community composition is closely associated with host disease onset
and progression, underscoring the importance of understanding host–microbiota dynamics …

As wildlife protection continue to strengthen, research on the gut microbiota of wildlife is
increasing. Carrying out conservation and research on endangered species in the Qinghai …

The giant panda, a strict herbivore that feeds on bamboo, still retains a typical carnivorous
digestive system. Reference catalogs of microbial genes and genomes are lacking, largely …

Little is comprehensively known or understood about giant panda fecal and serum
metabolites, which could serve as important indicators of the physiological metabolism of …
