Longitudinal changes in gut microbiota across reproductive states in wild baboons

Puntos clave

• Longitudinal changes in gut microbiota were observed, significantly linking these shifts to reproductive states.
• The analysis showed distinct variations in gut microbiota composition during mating and gestation periods.
• Observational analysis across wild baboons consistently tracked microbiota changes over time and reproductive phases.
• These findings highlight the ecological implications of gut microbiota changes during critical reproductive events.
