Oral and Gut Microbiomes Reveal Potential Physiological Constraints on Release Readiness in Rehabilitating Javan slow lorises
Illegal wildlife trade and habitat degradation displace thousands of animals annually in Southeast Asia, with many confiscated primates housed in rehabilitation centers that increasingly function as long‐term holding environments. In slow lorises, dental clipping associated with the pet trade may generate persistent disruption along the oral–gut axis, potentially undermining physiological readiness for release in ways not captured by conventional…
In vitro digestion and fermentation of Japanese macaque ( Macaca fuscata ) food
Chewing is critical for herbivores to obtain nutrients. Measuring digesta particle size as the outcome of chewing can improve our understanding of the relationship between food and digestion. Previous studies of feeds of domestic animals have shown that smaller digesta particle size leads to more efficient digestion. Increased digesta particle size—either due to animal factors (e.g., a senile dentition) or to feed factors (e.g., fracture resistan…
Diet‐related factors strongly shaped the gut microbiota of Japanese macaques
Although knowledge of the functions of the gut microbiome has increased greatly over the past few decades, our understanding of the mechanisms governing its ecology and evolution remains obscure. While host genetic distance is a strong predictor of the gut microbiome in large‐scale studies and captive settings, its influence has not always been evident at finer taxonomic scales, especially when considering among the recently diverged animals in n…
Effects of diet and age–sex class on the fecal particle size of wild Japanese macaques ( Macaca fuscata yakui )
Fecal particle size provides important information on the feeding and digestion of herbivores. Understanding the effects of the potential proximate determinants on fecal particle size helps us interpret this widely used measurement. In folivores, previous studies found that diet composition, dietary toughness, and age–sex‐related factors, such as body size and tooth wear, influenced fecal particle size. However, the role of these factors remains …
Stomach and colonic microbiome of wild Japanese macaques
Within the gastrointestinal tract, the physiochemical microenvironments are highly diversified among the different stages of food digestion. Accordingly, gut microbiome composition and function vary at different gut sites. In this study, we examine and compare the compositional and functional potential between the stomach and colonic microbiome of wild Japanese macaques ( Macaca fuscata yakui ) living in the evergreen forest of Yakushima Island. …
Gut microbiota composition of Japanese macaques associates with extent of human encroachment
In recent decades, human–wildlife interaction and associated anthropogenic food provisioning has been increasing and becoming more severe due to fast population growth and urban development. Noting the role of the gut microbiome in host physiology like nutrition and health, it is thus essential to understand how human–wildlife interactions and availability of anthropogenic food in habitats can affect an animal's gut microbiome. This study, theref…
