Analysis reveals gut microbiota differences among host families in captive artiodactyls, suggesting phylosymbiosis.

Host phylogeny determines the gut microbiota structure in captive artiodactyls, indicating evolutionary influences.
Microbiota composition significantly differed among Bovidae, Cervidae, and Camelidae, with a topological alignment to host phylogeny.
Using 16S rRNA sequencing, the study highlights unique biomarkers associated with each family, enhancing understanding of gut ecology.
Functional inference indicates significant microbiota differences in carbohydrate metabolism and biodegradation pathways, relevant for conservation.

Sun et al. (2025) studied this question.
