Bacterial indicators of environmental stress in the gut microbiome of free-ranging European roe deer inhabiting agricultural landscapes

Abstract Environmental stressors can influence the gut microbiota of wild ruminants, yet their effects in free-ranging populations remain poorly understood. This study examined associations between physiological stress and gut microbiota composition in free-ranging European roe deer (Capreolus capre...
