Abstract

The microbiome of wild birds has been associated with health status and risk of disease development, but underlying metabolomic mechanisms are still unknown. Metabolites produced by microbial organisms may affect host metabolic processes and by doing so influence host health. Here we provide for the first time data on the faecal metabolome of wild great tits ( Parus major ) by analyzing metabolites associations with age, sex, season and body condition. Using untargeted metabolomics, we analyzed faecal samples from 112 great tits that were caught in a deciduous forest fragment in Flanders (Belgium) during late autumn and 19 animals that were re-captured during early spring. In this study, no significant associations between the faecal metabolites and age, sex and body condition were observed. However, season was shown to be a discriminating factor for the metabolomic composition of great tits, suggesting an impact of environmental factors.

季节是大山雀粪便代谢组学组成的鉴别因素

野生鸟类的微生物组与健康状况和疾病发展风险有关，但其潜在的代谢组学机制尚不清楚。微生物产生的代谢产物可能会影响宿主的代谢过程，从而影响宿主的健康。在这里，我们通过分析代谢产物与年龄、性别、季节和身体状况的关系，首次提供了野生大山雀（大山雀）粪便代谢组的数据。使用非靶向代谢组学，我们分析了深秋在佛兰德斯（比利时）落叶森林碎片中捕获的112只大山雀和早春重新捕获的19只动物的粪便样本。在这项研究中，未观察到粪便代谢产物与年龄、性别和身体状况之间的显著关联。然而，季节被证明是大山雀代谢组学组成的一个判别因素，这表明环境因素的影响。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
