Overview of experimental design using Brandt’s voles. a Schematic diagram of photoperiod experiment. LD, long-day photoperiod (16L: 8D); SD, short-day photoperiod (8L: 16D). b Schematic diagram of FMT experiment. Con, recipients with saline; Ab, recipients with antibiotic; F-LD, recipients with LD-exposed microbiota; F-SD, recipients with SD-exposed microbiota. c Timeline of data collection for Experiment 1. d Timeline of data collection for Experiment 2. All measurements in Experiment 2 (corresponding to those as directed by up-arrows) were the same as those in Experiment 1. BM, body mass
