Diversity and stability of egg‐bacterial assemblages: The role of paternal care in the glassfrog Hyalinobatrachium colymbiphyllum

2017-06-21

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Embryos of oviparous organisms must cope with harsh environments and are especially susceptible to disease, considering that many immune mechanisms do not develop until later in life. Parents may transmit symbiotic microflora to eggs, which can contribute to embryo immune defense. Despite the importance of symbiotic microbes for immune function and survival of adult amphibians, vertical transfer of symbio...
