This can be seen in the gut microbiome\u2019s influence on nutrient acquisition, the production of biologically active molecules, and the modification of steroid hormones, as well as in reproductive microbiomes\u2019 impacts on sperm quality, assisted reproductive technology success, embryo quality, susceptibility to STIs, and offspring health. While the majority of research into these topics is in humans, mice, and livestock, investigations into wildlife species have also revealed similar patterns. However, further research is still needed across a broader range of taxa, particularly in species with low reproductive success that depend on consistent reproduction to be self-sustaining. Ex situ populations of cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) and clouded leopards (Neofelis nebulosa) that are part of American Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plans (AZA SSP), are two such populations that have poor reproduction and rely on conservation husbandry for population health and survival. Therefore, the main goal of my dissertation is to investigate the relationship between the gut, vaginal, preputial, and seminal microbiomes and reproductive phenotypes and physiology in these two threatened species, along with their model species, the domestic cat (Felis catus), in order to extend the applicability of this research to other threatened felids.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"134805-21875261@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/134805", "building_id":"1005169", "building_name":"Biological Sciences Building", "campus_maps_id":"631", "room":"1010", "location_name":"Biological Sciences Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["zoology","biological science","Biology","Biosciences","Bsbsigns","department of ecology and evolutionary biology","ecology","Ecology & Biology","Ecology And Evolutionary Biology","evolution","evolutionary biology","Graduate Students","Life Science","Museum - Herbarium","Museum - Zoology","Museum Of Zoology","eeb"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Ecology and Evolutionary Biology", "group_id":"1190", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134805_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134805_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134805_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134805_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134805_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134805_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134805_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134805_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134805_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134805_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134805_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134805_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134805_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134805_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134805_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134805_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21875261 } , "131469-21868519": { "datetime_modified":"20250120T151032", "datetime_start":"20250414T110000", "datetime_end":"20250414T130000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-04-14", "date_end":"2025-04-14", "time_start":"11:00:00", "time_end":"13:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"\"Let's Talk\": Informal, Drop-In Mental Health Counseling", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"\"Let's Talk\": Informal, Drop-In Mental Health Counseling", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Well-being", "event_type_id":"12", "description":"Trained mental health counselors are now available for drop-in conversations at different times and locations across campus, including at Trotter, the Spectrum Center, South Quad, the International Center, and Bursley.\r\n\r\nThis informal, confidential \u201coffice hours\u201d style can be a great fit for students unsure about formal counseling; for those with a specific, time-limited concern they\u2019d like to talk through; or those seeking information on campus resources.
