The paper examines how microbial community characteristics predict soil respiration across a forest-to-marsh gradient, finding that the fungal:bacterial biomass ratio is more effective than taxonomic or functional gene indicators.

This study shows predatory bacteria alter C. elegans microbiota, increasing vitamin B12 availability, which extends lifespan by suppressing a detoxification pathway.

This study compares zebrafish gut and tank water microbiomes across five aquaculture facilities, showing facility-specific microbial profiles and their impact on host microbiome composition.

The paper compares neutral and selective processes in shaping skin and gut microbiomes across species, finding skin microbiomes are more influenced by neutral processes.

The paper uses a mutant fish model to show endosome trafficking disorders link to gut microbiome changes and inflammatory bowel disease.

This study investigates the drivers of variation in the zebrafish egg microbiome, finding that parentage and developmental stage influence microbiome composition and diversity.

The paper extends quantitative genetic theory to include host-associated microbes as factors influencing phenotypic variation and demonstrates how microbiome-mediated responses to selection can arise from various transmission modes.

The paper characterizes new Pseudobdellovibrionaceae strains, revealing genomic features and evolutionary insights into bacterial predation modes.

This paper introduces a mathematical model to study how microbiome inheritance affects host trait evolution, finding that transmission mode has no effect on trait dynamics if microbiomes are passed between generations.
