英文摘要	Migratory animals live in a world of constant change. Animals undergo many physiological changes preparing themselves for the migration. Although this field has been studied extensively over the last decades, we know relatively little about the seasonal changes that occur in the microbial communities that these animals carry in their guts. Here, we assessed the V4 region of the 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing data as a proxy to estimate microbiome diversity of tequila bats from fecal pellets and evaluate how the natural process of migration shapes the microbiome composition and diversity. We collected samples from individual bats at two localities in the dry forest biome (Chamela and Coquimatlan) and one site at the endpoint of the migration in the Sonoran Desert (Pinacate). We found that the gut microbiome of the tequila bats is dominated largely by Firmicutes and Proteobacteria. Our data also provide insights on how microbiome diversity shifts at the same site in consecutive years. Our study has demonstrated that both locality and year-to-year variation contribute to shaping the composition, overall diversity, and uniqueness of the gut microbiome of migratory nectar-feeding female bats, with localities from the dry forest biome looking more like each other compared to those from the desert biome. In terms of beta diversity, our data show a stratified effect in which the samples' locality was the strongest factor influencing the gut microbiome but with significant variation between consecutive years at the same locality. IMPORTANCE Migratory animals live in a world of constant change. The whole-body ecosystem needs a strong adapting capacity to thrive despite the changes. Our study used next-generation sequencing to determine how gut microbial change along the migratory path of the nectar-feeding tequila bats. The study of the gut microbiome is a great tool that can provide important insights that are relevant not just for management and conservation but also an initial investigation of the extent of the adaptation and preparedness of the individual animals, with respect not just to their current environment but also to all the environments involved in their yearly cycle.
