Population bottlenecks constrain host microbiome diversity and genetic variation impeding fitness
2021-07-05
Abstract excerpt
It is becoming increasingly clear that microbial symbionts influence key aspects of their host’s fitness, and vice versa . This may fundamentally change our thinking about how microbes and hosts interact in influencing fitness and adaptation to changing environments. Here we explore how reductions in population size commonly experienced by threatened species influence microbiome diversity. Consequences of such re...
