Host–Microbiome Interactions as Moderators of Host Quality and Biodiversity–Disease Relationships

Abstract excerpt

Biodiversity-disease studies typically focus on how changes in community composition (e.g., species richness, abundance, and functional or phylogenetic metrics of biodiversity) affect disease risk. In doing so, these studies tend to overlook intraspecific variation in the organisms comprising the community. Yet, intraspecific variation, which occurs to varying degrees both within and between communities, could...
