Mink (Neovison vison) fecal microbiomes are influenced by sex, temperature, and time postdefecation
JOURNAL OF MAMMALOGY, 103(2), 316–327.
author keywords: fecal sampling; gut microbiome; microbial succession; noninvasive; power analysis
TL;DR:
The results demonstrate that feces from unknown individuals can be a powerful tool for examining carnivore gut microbiomes, though rigorous study design is required because sex, ambient temperature, and time since defecation drive significant microbial variation and the sample size requirements necessary for detecting statistically significant differences between target populations is an important consideration for future ecologically meaningful research.
