TL;DR: This study characterized the microbiota of both hard and soft feces from rex rabbits with high and low body weight by using the Illumina MiSeq platform targeting the V4 region of the 16S rDNA and revealed metabolic pathways such as “stilbenoid, diarylheptanoid, gingerol biosynthesis” were enriched in high weight rabbits, and pathways related to “xenobiotics biodegradation” and “various types of N-gly

Metagenomic Study Suggests That the Gut Microbiota of the Giant Panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) May Not Be Specialized for Fiber Fermentation.

TL;DR: The results consistently indicate that the Giant panda is not specialized to digest cellulose and hemicellulose from its bamboo diet, making the giant panda a good mammalian model to study the unusual link between the gut microbiome and diet.
High-Altitude Living Shapes the Skin Microbiome in Humans and Pigs.

TL;DR: Altitude has a significant effect on the skin microbiome of pigs and humans, and several of the taxa unique to high-altitude humans and pigs are known extremophiles adapted to harsh environments such as those found at high altitude.
Fecal microbiota transplantation provides new insight into wildlife conservation
TL;DR: Although the attempts to perform FMT for conservation biology still remain preliminary, FMT has already indicated an enormous potential for the improvement of both the management and conservation of wildlife.
