Microplastics and gut microbiomes impact on Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys in the Three Parallel Rivers region in China
Our study proved from behavioral and ecological perspectives that the <i>R. bieti</i> exposure to MPs was related to provisioned food, and was closely related to dominance hierarchy and age. From the perspective of intestinal microbiology, it was proved that the current intake of MPs did not cause gut microbiome dysbiosis of <i>R. bieti</i>. Our study provided scientific basis for formulating effective protection measures and promoting the effective protection of rare and endangered animals.
