Differential gut microbiome composition in three-spined stickleback populations with contrasting levels of mercury accumulation
Overall, our results suggest that local factors specific to a host population, potentially including mercury accumulation and sex-specific factors, differentiate the microbial communities inhabiting the gastrointestinal tracts of the three-spined stickleback.
