Conserve the germs: the gut microbiota and adaptive potential

2019-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Although the diversity of microbial communities (microbiota) inhabiting body niches are of proven importance to health in both humans and non-human animals, the functional importance of these collective genomes (microbiome) to the adaptive potential of their hosts has only recently been considered within a conservation framework. If loss of gut biodiversity threatens the health (and therefore the fitness of indivi...
