Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic plasticity is a primary mechanism by which organismal phenotypes shift in response to the environment. Host-associated microbiomes often change considerably in response to environmental variation, and these shifts could facilitate host phenotypic plasticity, adaptation, or rescue populations from extinction. However, it is unclear whether changes in microbiome composition contribute to host phenotypic...
