The paper examines gut microbiome variation in juvenile blue tits across urban, suburban, and natural habitats in Warsaw, finding reduced diversity in urban areas and year-dependent effects.

The paper compares skin and gut microbial communities in Antarctic fur seals at different social densities, finding skin communities are more affected by social density than gut communities.

This study finds urban lizards have lower metabolic rates, smaller body size, but similar body condition compared to semi-natural lizards.

This study investigates the gut microbiota-immune-brain axis in wild common buzzards during early development, finding no direct feedback between microbial diversity and immune/stress parameters but highlighting stress-mediated immunosuppression and the health benefits of microbial diversity.
