Heat exposure remodels the gut microbiota to promote heat acclimation through a serotonin-mediated gut-brain axis.

Rising global temperatures pose an increasing challenge to the survival of endotherms. In this context, heat acclimation is a critical adaptive process that enables long-term survival under warming conditions. However, the mechanisms underlying this adaptive process remain poorly understood in birds, especially heat-se...
