Variability in snake skin microbial assemblages across spatial scales and disease states
7 May 2019
Abstract excerpt
Understanding how biological patterns translate into functional processes across different scales is a central question in ecology. Within a spatial context, extent is used to describe the overall geographic area of a study, whereas grain describes the overall unit of observation. This study aimed to characterize the snake skin microbiota (grain) and to determine host-microbial assemblage-pathogen effects across...
