This study investigates biogeographic patterns in microbial communities of freshwater ponds, finding latitudinal diversity gradients in fungi but not bacteria, and weak distance decay relationships.

This study shows that host genetics and the skin microbiome independently predict parasite resistance in Trinidadian guppies, with the microbiome explaining as much variation in infection severity as genetic selection lines.

This study investigates the developmental emergence of phylosymbiosis in Peromyscus mice, finding that microbiome phylosymbiosis appears at pre-weaning while host transcriptome phylosymbiosis is only present at birth.
