Here, we studied the consequences of climate warming on gut bacterial communities of an ectotherm, the common lizard (Zootoca vivipara), using a semi-natural experimental approach. We found that +2/3°C warmer climates cause a 34% loss of populations' microbiota diversity, with possible negative consequences for host survival. not specified 849.2 CC-BY-3.0 Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Version 2 (2017-06-28) supplement citable author39824 author61409 author61410 author61411 author61412 author61413 author61414 journal16858 license101 ref90423 topotype1
