Epidemiological studies have suggested a role for ultra-processed foods in numerous
chronic inflammatory diseases such as inflammatory bowel diseases and metabolic …

Mammalian gut microbiomes profoundly influence host fitness, but the processes that drive
the evolution of host-microbiome systems are poorly understood. Recent studies suggest …

The gut microbiomes of human populations worldwide have many core microbial species in
common. However, within a species, some strains can show remarkable population …

Host specificity is observed in gut symbionts of diverse animal lineages. But how hosts
maintain symbionts while rejecting their close relatives remains elusive. We use eusocial …

The microbiome is critical for host survival and fitness, but gaps remain in our understanding
of how this symbiotic community is structured. Despite evidence that related hosts often …

Every mammalian species harbours a gut microbiota, and variation in the gut microbiota
within mammalian species can have profound effects on host phenotypes. In this review, we …

The gut microbiome plays an important role in bee health and disease. But it can be
disrupted by pesticides and in-hive chemicals, putting honey bee health in danger. We used …

Human gut bacterial strains can co-exist with their hosts for decades, but little is known
about how these microbes persist and disperse, and evolve thereby. Here, we examined …

BACKGROUND When human populations expanded across the globe, they adapted
genetically to local environments in response to novel selection pressures. Drivers of …

1. The decline in insect abundance and diversity observed in many ecosystems is of major
concern because of the long‐term consequences for ecosystem function and stability. 2 …
