Migratory shorebirds have many unique life history characteristics, such as long-distance travel between breeding sites, stopover sites, and wintering sites. The physiological challenges for migrant energy requirement and immunity may affect their gut microbiome community. Here, we reviewed the specific features (e.g., relatively high proportion of and ) in the gut microbiome of 18 migratory shorebirds, and the factors (e.g., diet, migration, environment, and phylogeny) affecting the gut microbiome. We discussed possible future studies of the gut microbiome in migratory shorebirds, including the composition and function of the spatial-temporal gut microbiome, and the potential contributions made by the gut microbiome to energy requirement during migration.
迁徙滨鸟具有许多独特的生活史特征，例如在繁殖地、中途停歇地和越冬地之间进行长途迁徙。候鸟能量需求和免疫力方面的生理挑战可能会影响它们的肠道微生物群落。在这里，我们综述了18种迁徙滨鸟肠道微生物群的特定特征（例如，[此处原文缺失具体内容]的比例相对较高），以及影响肠道微生物群的因素（例如，饮食、迁徙、环境和系统发育）。我们讨论了未来关于迁徙滨鸟肠道微生物群可能的研究，包括时空肠道微生物群的组成和功能，以及肠道微生物群在迁徙期间对能量需求的潜在贡献。
