Interspecific social contacts spread gut microbiota in wild rodent communities

This study shows that social interactions between different rodent species can spread gut microbiota, with stronger transmission from wood mice to yellow-necked mice.

Age-related changes in the gut microbiota of a long-lived seabird suggest divergence from mammalian models

This study examines age-related gut microbiota changes in Atlantic puffins, finding population-level structuring in chicks that disappears in adults, with contrasting patterns compared to mammals.

Infant gut microbiota in multi-child families converges with adults without a sibling-specific signature

The paper analyzes infant gut microbiota in multi-child families and finds that sibling presence accelerates microbiota maturation but does not create a sibling-specific signature.

Epigenetic age estimation of wild mice using faecal samples

This paper develops an epigenetic clock using faecal DNA from lab mice to estimate age in wild mice, finding higher methylation and epigenetic age in wild mice compared to lab mice.
