Autotrophic ammonia-oxidizing communities, which are responsible for the rate-limiting step
of nitrification in most soils, have not been studied extensively in semiarid ecosystems. …

Animals are routinely colonized by microorganisms. Despite many studies documenting the
microbial taxa associated with animals, the pattern and ecological determinants of among-…

Most animals and plants have associated microorganisms, collectively referred to as their
microbiomes, which can provide essential functions. Given their importance, host-associated …

The gut microbiome has been proposed to influence diverse behavioral traits of animals,
although the experimental evidence is limited and often contradictory. Here, we made use of …

Most of the evidence that the gut microbiome of animals is functionally variable, with
consequences for the health and fitness of the animal host, is based on laboratory studies, often …

A central challenge in community ecology is understanding the role that phenotypic variation
among genotypes plays in structuring host-associated communities. While recent studies …

The taxonomic composition of microbial communities in animals varies among animal
species, but the contribution of interspecific differences in filtering of the microbial pool by the …

Despite evidence from laboratory experiments that perturbation of the gut microbiota affects
many traits of the animal host, our understanding of the effect of variation in microbiota …
