Interspecific faecal microbiota transplantation tests microbial contributions to thermal physiology in lizards
While the influence of microorganisms in the thermal physiology of animals is increasingly recognised, the role of the gut microbiome in enhancing phenotypic plasticity remains underexplored, particularly in ectotherms. Here, we tested the effect of gut microbiomes in modulating the physiological response of lizards to sudden temperature fluctuations. In captivity, we conducted an experiment with…
