TL;DR: In this article, the authors collected the feces of Brandt's voles in the grassland, of three age groups (juvenile, adult and old), in both sexes, and studied the gut microbiota by 16S rRNA sequencing.

TL;DR: This paper examined the effects of different rainfall patterns (i.e., timing and amount) on the phenological asynchrony of population of a generalist herbivore and their food sources in semiarid steppe grassland in Inner Mongolia.

TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of Fulvic acid on alleviation of Cd toxicity in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L) under hydroponic conditions were investigated and the results showed that 20 μmol/L Cd stress significantly reduced photosynthetic pigment metabolism and the expression of proteins, thereby inhibiting photoynthetic electron transport.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the association of gut microbiota with photoperiod-induced reproduction in male Brandt's voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii) through a long-day and short-day photopiod manipulation experiment and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) experiment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effects of space shortage and physical or non-physical contact stress on serum corticosterone and gut microbiota of Brandt’s voles in both laboratory and field conditions.
