Gut Microbiome-Metabolome Reconfiguration Associates With Phenotypic Plasticity of Daphnia Under Predation Risk.

Abstract excerpt

Predation is an important selective pressure shaping phenotypic plasticity in aquatic organisms. As the key mediator between environmental changes and host physiology, gut microbiota and their metabolism play crucial roles in regulating host fitness. Although a few studies have extended the effects of predation risk on gut microbial composition, relatively little is known about whether and how the gut metabolite...
