Individual variation in the avian gut microbiota: the influence of host state and environmental heterogeneity

S. E. Somers, G. L. Davidson, C. N. Johnson, M. S. Reichert, J. M. S. Crane, R. P. Ross, C. Stanton, J. L. Quinn

The study examines how the gut microbiota of wild great tits varies with age, environment, and life history traits, finding that nestlings show greater sensitivity to ecological variation than adults.

Honeybees exposure to veterinary drugs: how the gut microbiota is affected

L. Baffoni, D. Alberoni, F. Gaggia, C. Braglia, C. Stanton, R. P. Ross, D. Di Gioia

This study examines how three veterinary drugs affect honeybee gut microbiota and antibiotic resistance genes, finding significant changes in microbial diversity and resistance gene abundance.

Long-term persistence of crAss-like phage crAss001 is associated with phase variation in Bacteroides intestinalis

A. N. Shkoporov, E. V. Khokhlova, N. Stephens, C. Hueston, S. Seymour, A. J. Hryckowian, D. Scholz, R. P. Ross, C. Hill

The paper shows that phase variation in Bacteroides intestinalis capsular polysaccharides enables long-term phage persistence through dynamic resistance and delayed lysis mechanisms.

A time-lagged association between the gut microbiome, nestling weight and nestling survival in wild great tits

G. L. Davidson, S. E. Somers, N. Wiley, C. N. Johnson, M. S. Reichert, R. P. Ross, C. Stanton, J. L. Quinn

The paper examines the relationship between gut microbiome composition, nestling weight, and survival in great tits, finding a time-lagged association between early microbiome diversity and later weight gain.

Autochthonous faecal virome transplantation (FVT) reshapes the murine microbiome after antibiotic perturbation

L. A. Draper, F. J. Ryan, M. Dalmasso, P. G. Casey, A. McCann, V. Velayudhan, R. P. Ross, C. Hill

This study shows that transplanting an autochthonous faecal virome can reshape the murine microbiome after antibiotic treatment, restoring it closer to its pre-treatment state.
