Social environment drives sex and age‐specific variation in Drosophila melanogaster microbiome composition and predicted function
8 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
Social environments influence multiple traits of individuals including immunity, stress and ageing, often in sex-specific ways. The composition of the microbiome (the assemblage of symbiotic microorganisms within a host) is determined by environmental factors and the host's immune, endocrine and neural systems.
