Animals can adapt to unique feeding habits through changes in the structure and function of the gut microflora. However, the gut microflora is strongly influenced by the evolutionary relationships between the host, nutritional intake, intake of microorganisms, etc. The red panda (), an herbivorous carnivore, has adapted to consuming bamboo through seasonal foraging strategies and optimization of the composition and function of its gut microflora during long-term evolution. However, to date, studies of the gut bacteria of the red panda have mainly focused on the composition, diversity and function of the gut microflora of captive individuals. There are a lack of studies on how the wild red panda adapts to the consumption of bamboo, which is high in fibre and low in nutrients, through the gut microflora. This paper reviews the technology and methods used in published studies investigating the gut microflora of the red panda, as well as the composition, diversity and function of the identified microbes and the influencing factors. Furthermore, this paper suggests future research directions regarding the methodology employed in analyzing the red panda gut microflora, the interplay between gut microflora and the health of the red panda, the red panda's adaptation to its gut microflora, and the implications of these studies for the management and conservation of wild red pandas. The goal of this review is to provide a reference for the protection of wild red pandas from the perspective of the gut microflora.
动物可以通过肠道微生物群结构和功能的变化来适应独特的饮食习惯。然而，肠道微生物群受到宿主、营养摄入、微生物摄入等之间进化关系的强烈影响。小熊猫是一种食草性食肉动物，在长期进化过程中，通过季节性觅食策略以及肠道微生物群组成和功能的优化，已适应以竹子为食。然而，迄今为止，对小熊猫肠道细菌的研究主要集中在圈养个体肠道微生物群的组成、多样性和功能上。缺乏关于野生小熊猫如何通过肠道微生物群适应食用高纤维、低营养竹子的研究。本文综述了已发表的关于小熊猫肠道微生物群研究中使用的技术和方法，以及已鉴定微生物的组成、多样性和功能及其影响因素。此外，本文还提出了未来在分析小熊猫肠道微生物群所采用的方法、肠道微生物群与小熊猫健康之间的相互作用、小熊猫对其肠道微生物群的适应性以及这些研究对野生小熊猫管理和保护的意义等方面的研究方向。本综述的目的是从肠道微生物群的角度为野生小熊猫的保护提供参考。
