The paper investigates factors driving microbial strain sharing across host species, finding host phylogeny, not environment, is the primary driver, with implications for microbial dispersal constraints across mammals.

This study shows that stool microbiota from Crohn's disease patients produce less butyrate and other SCFAs and more ethanol and amino acids in vitro, suggesting metabolic dysbiosis that could inform diagnostics.

This study examines how gut microbial communities in red squirrels respond to seasonal variation and episodic resource pulses, finding that maternal effects influence microbial convergence during resource pulses but not seasonal changes.

The paper identifies the Mississippi River as a major biogeographic barrier that increases microbial dissimilarity in gut microbiomes of Peromyscus maniculatus across the US.
