To investigate the community structure and diversity of gut microflora their function in body mass regulation, as well effects various locations on microbiota Cricetulus longicaudatus regulation at elevations. We examined diversity, abundance, long-tailed dwarf hamsters from eight regions Shanxi province during summer using 16S rDNA sequencing technology analyzed relationships between these environmental variables morphological indicators. The results revealed Firmicutes Bacteroidetes dominant phyla phylum level, with Lactobacillus emerging predominant genus. observed differences different areas, this is affected by altitude. high-altitude areas individuals had lower β than low-altitude area. Moreover, skull indexes also changed result presented study indicated that size conforms to Bergmann's law. And Providencia significant correlation size. Finally, functional analysis showed changes metabolic depended elevation, collinear network how interacts each other. All suggest are depending altitude, altitude being main factor affecting both microbes way metabolism works. This shows has a big effect phenotypic traits hamsters. It species can adapt
