The microbiome shapes many host traits, yet the biology of microbiomes challenges
traditional evolutionary models. Here, we illustrate how integrating the microbiome into …

Develo** general principles of host–microorganism interactions necessitates a robust
understanding of the eco-evolutionary processes that structure microbiota. Phylosymbiosis …

During times of rapid environmental change, survival of most vertebrate populations
depends on their phenomic plasticity. Although differential gene-expression and post …

The foraging ecology of mammalian herbivores is strongly shaped by plant secondary
compounds (PSC s) that defend plants against herbivory. Conventional wisdom holds that …

The majority of insect species consume plants, many of which produce chemical toxins that
defend their tissues from attack. How then are herbivorous insects able to develop on a …

ABSTRACT A mechanistic understanding of seed movement and survival is important both
for the development of theoretical models of plant population dynamics, spatial spread, and …

Recent studies in model organisms have shown that compositional variation in the
microbiome can affect a variety of host phenotypes including those related to digestion …

The recent emergence of powerful genomic tools, such as high‐throughput genomics,
transcriptomics and metabolomics, combined with the study of gnotobiotic animals, have …
