Maternal and infantile gut mycobiome during the weaning period in free ranging Tibetan macaques ().

Gut microbiome is critical to the health of mammals. Many previous studies have revealed the gut bacterial microbiomes of mother and infant changed significantly during the weaning period. However, little is known concerning the gut mycobiome of wild primates.

Linking the bacterial microbiome between gut and habitat soil of Tibetan macaque ().

Soil is a part of the habitat environment of terrestrial or semi-terrestrial mammals, which contains a wide variety of microbes. Although the soil microbiome of the host habitat is considered to be a potentially important influence factor on the mammalian gut microbiome and health, few data are currently available to explore the relationship between gut and host habitat soil microbiome in wild primates. Here, marked divergence of the bacterial microbiome in composition and structure between Tibetan macaques () guts and its habitat soil were detected.

Genetic diversity and phylogeography of located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Geographical patterns, climate, and environmental change have important influences on the distribution and spread of aquatic organisms. However, the relationships between the geographical pattern and phylogenetics of as well as environmental change are not well known. The genetic diversity and phylogeography of seven populations located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River were investigated based on the combination of mitochondrial (I gene) and nuclear (14 microsatellite primers) markers.
