Diversity-Stability Dynamics of the Amphibian Skin Microbiome and Susceptibility to a Lethal Viral Pathogen
20 Dec 2019
Abstract excerpt
Variation among animals in their host-associated microbial communities is increasingly recognised as a key determinant of important life history traits including growth, metabolism and resistance to disease. Quantitative estimates of the factors shaping the stability of host microbiomes over time at the individual level in non-model organisms are scarce. Addressing this gap in our knowledge is important, as...
