Links between Natural Variation in the Microbiome and Host Fitness in Wild Mammals.

Integrative and comparative biology - 1 Oct 2017

Suzuki Taichi A

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies in model organisms have shown that compositional variation in the microbiome can affect a variety of host phenotypes including those related to digestion, development, immunity, and behavior. Natural variation in the microbiome within and between natural populations and species may also affect host phenotypes and thus fitness in the wild. Here, I review recent evidence that compositional variation...
