Unraveling the distinctive gut microbiome of khulans (Equus hemionus hemionus) in comparison to their drinking water and closely related equids by Víctor Hugo Jarquín-Díaz, Anisha Dayaram, Eirini S. Soilemetzidou, Amelie Desvars-Larrive, Julia Bohner, Bayarbaatar Buuveibaatar, Petra Kaczensky, Chris Walzer, Alex D. Greenwood, Ulrike Löber

“…Abstract The microbial composition of host-associated microbiomes is influenced by co-evolutionary interactions, host genetics, domestication, and the environment. This study investigates the contribution of environmental microbiota from freshwater bodies to the gastrointestinal microbiomes of wild khulans (Equus hemionus hemionus, n = 21) and compares them with those of captive khulans (n = 12) and other equids—Przewalski’s horse (n = 82) and domestic horse (n = 26). …”
