Age linked to more diverse gut bacteria in bonobos

An observational study of 165 wild and zoo-housed bonobos aged 2 to 71 years found age-related patterns resembling those seen in humans.An observational study of 165 wild and zoo-housed bonobos aged 2 to 71 years found age-related patterns resembling those seen in humans.
