Sociability in a non-captive macaque population is associated with beneficial gut bacteria

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Studies on various other primates, notably chimpanzees, lemurs, and howler monkeys, have also shown that different social groups within a species have distinct gut microbial communities (Degnan et_al, 2012; Bennett et_al, 2016; Amato et_al, 2017; Perofsky et_al, 2017; Rudolph et_al, 2022) and that social interactions, such as grooming, promote microbial similarity between individuals (Moeller et_al, 2016; Raulo et_al, 2017). Increased social contact has been associated with a more diverse gut microbiome in a range of animal populations (Li et_al, 2016; Moeller et_al, 2016; Billiet et_al, 2017; Perofsky et_al, 2017). There is also evidence that . . .
