Journal Article
Mink microbiomes differ between males and females
2022
Overview
Microbial communities in the guts of animals can influence immunity, digestion, nutrition, and the behavior of their host. Research on these communities therefore has the potential to provide insights into wildlife health and conservation, but the microbiomes of carnivores are poorly understood. Now, a study has reported unexpected differences in the gut microbiomes of male and female American mink. The team of researchers extracted bacterial DNA from fecal samples of five male and five female mink in captivity. Their analyses revealed that many of the bacteria found in females differed from those found in males, and that the bacteria males and females had in common also often differed in abundance.
