Phylosymbiosis shapes skin bacterial communities and pathogen-protective function in Appalachian salamanders
1 Jan 2024
Abstract excerpt
Phylosymbiosis is an association between host-associated microbiome composition and host phylogeny. This pattern can arise via the evolution of host traits, habitat preferences, diets, and the co-diversification of hosts and microbes. Understanding the drivers of phylosymbiosis is vital for modelling disease-microbiome interactions and manipulating microbiomes in multi-host systems. This study quantifies...
