Abstract All animals host diverse microbial communities (bacteria, fungi, viruses, known as the microbiota) that inhabit external and internal surfaces of the host. Host-associated microbiota provide essential services to their hosts, such as provision of nutrients, protection against pathogens, and toxic compounds. As changes in the microbiota composition can impact delivery of these functions and thus host health, it is important to understand processes that shape host-associated microbiota. In this thesis, I assess the impacts of environmental contamination on the gut and skin microbiota (bacteria) of small mammals inhabiting areas affected by radionuclides derived from the Chernobyl (Ukraine) and Fukushima (Japan) nuclear accidents. I ...
