The dynamic host\u2010symbiote interactions between gut microbiota are essential in metabolic processes and overall health of the host organism. We used 16S rRNA gene sequencing to profile the bacterial community from the guts of wild Eastern Fence Lizards. Microbiome profiles were collected at four distinct time points when lizards were actively foraging in the environment and across four age groups, aiming to characterise the natural variation in bacterial diversity. Environmental bacteria such as\n                    <jats:italic>Mycobacterium<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Pantoea<\/jats:italic>\n                    in young of year (YOY) lizards underwent successional microbiome changes to taxa including\n                    <jats:italic>Caproiciproducens<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Eubacterium<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Fusobacterium<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Roseburia<\/jats:italic>\n                    in adults, reflecting dietary shifts from maternal nutrients and early\u2010stage prey to fibre\u2010rich arthropod diets. Juvenile lizards exhibited a simple gut microbiome dominated by pioneer colonisers (Firmicutes, Bacteroidota and Proteobacteria), with alpha diversity increasing rapidly within a month to near adult levels. This research extends our understanding of reptilian microbiomes, capturing a snapshot of the ecological complexities of Eastern Fence Lizard microbiomes. As wild lizards mature, their gut microbiome becomes more stable and resilient to environmental disturbances, developing a diverse and balanced bacterial community that supports functional redundancy and ecosystem stability.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1758-2229.70373","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,28]],"date-time":"2026-07-28T13:19:40Z","timestamp":1785244780000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Exploring the Development of Wild Microbiomes in the Eastern Fence Lizard"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-2034-3560","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael S.","family":"Grapin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Biology, Juniata College  Huntingdon Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1132-8349","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Justin","family":"Wright","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wright Labs LLC  Huntingdon Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1057-2857","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jeremy Chen","family":"See","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wright Labs LLC  Huntingdon Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-2582-0485","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samantha","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wright Labs LLC  Huntingdon Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Regina","family":"Lamendella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biology, Juniata College  Huntingdon Pennsylvania USA"},{"name":"Wright Labs LLC  Huntingdon Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Matter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biology, Juniata College  Huntingdon Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","article-title":"Faecal Microbiota Divergence in Allopatric Populations of Podarcis Lilfordi and P.
