Colorful connections: pigment-based plumage and breeding condition are associated with gut microbiome variation in the Common Yellowthroat

Alix E. Matthews, Maxima Gomez-Palmer, Sebastian Gallego…·Marcella D. Baiz

The paper examines the association between gut microbiome diversity and plumage coloration traits in male Common Yellowthroats, finding higher microbiome diversity in brighter, more orange-tinted individuals.
