Much of animal-associated microbiome research has been conducted in species for which
little is known of their natural ecology and evolution. Microbiome studies that combine …

The intestinal microbiome has recently been described for a variety of fish species and has
been shown to influence host biology, including physiology, health and behavior …

The microbiota consists of microbes living in or on an organism and has been implicated in
host health and function. Environmental and host-related factors were shown to shape host …
