Short summary
The gut microbiome (microorganisms in the digestive tract) is important for the health of wildlife but may be impacted by human-caused disturbance, such as land cover change. Using genetic sequences of bacteria, we found that the gut microbiomes of the little free-tail bat (Mops pumilus) in Eswatini were highly individual and may have potential pathogens but did not appear to be influenced by land cover.
