Migratory birds exhibit unique annual cycles that complicate their gut microbiota. However, the dynamics of microbiota in migratory remain unclear, hindering our understanding environmental adaptation. Here, we collected fecal samples from black-necked cranes (Grus nigricollis) across four seasons at breeding grounds and used wintering ground data databases to characterize microbial compositions throughout year. The results showed was clustered by season (Bray-Curtis: R 2 = 0.348, p < 0.001; UniFrac: 0.352, 0.001). And summer exhibited higher alpha (Simpson Shannon), beta diversity (Bray-Curtis UniFrac) more diverse functions compared other seasons. Furthermore, summer, several balanced relative abundances family level, whereas Lactobacillaceae dominated during Thirty-six ASVs were identified random forest analysis distinguish distinct Despite having greater diversity, had a simpler network structure than (fewer edges nodes). dispersal limitation processes also significantly influenced community assembly. Overall, crane undergoes dynamic adjustments adapt seasonal changes, which may be associated with variations diet These enhance wild support further research on cranes.
