Great Tit (Parus major) Uropygial Gland Microbiomes and Their Potential Defensive Roles
The uropygial gland (preen gland) of birds plays an important role in maintaining feather integrity and hygiene. Although a few studies have demonstrated potential defensive roles of bacteria residing within these glands, the diversity and functions of the uropygial gland microbiota are largely unkn...
