Climate warming and landscape fragmentation are both factors well known to threaten biodiversity generate species responses adaptation. However, the impact of interplay on organismal remains largely under-explored, especially when it comes gut symbionts, which may play a key role in essential host functions traits by extending its functional genetic repertoire. Here, we experimentally examined combined effects climate habitat connectivity bacterial communities common lizard ( Zootoca vivipara ) over three years. While strength varied years, found that 2°C warmer decreases microbiome diversity isolated habitats. enabling among habitats with cooler climates offset or even reversed effects. The association between dispersal behaviour appear be potential driver this interplay. This study suggests preserving will mitigating change impacts, including microbiome, calls for more studies combining multiple anthropogenic stressors predicting persistence through global changes.
