From protists to humans, all animals and plants are inhabited by microbial organisms. There
is an increasing appreciation that these resident microbes influence the fitness of their plant …

On contemplating the adaptive capacity of reef organisms to a rapidly changing
environment, the microbiome offers significant and greatly unrecognised potential. Microbial …

At the current rate of climate change, it is unlikely that multicellular organisms will be able to
adapt to changing environmental conditions through genetic recombination and natural …

Simple Summary Microorganisms like bacteria, archaea, fungi, microalgae, and viruses
mostly form complex interactive networks within the ecosystem rather than existing as single …

Much recent marine research has been directed towards understanding the effects of
anthropogenic-induced environmental change on marine biodiversity, particularly for those …

Almost all animals and plants are inhabited by diverse communities of microorganisms, the
microbiota, thereby forming an integrated entity, the metaorganism. Natural selection should …

No matter how many authors are on the cover, every book is the work of many hands. We
would like to thank the many people who made this project possible, starting with the …

The host‐associated microbiota is increasingly recognized to facilitate host fitness, but the
understanding of the underlying ecological processes that govern the host–bacterial …

Microbes play a critical role in the development and health of marine invertebrates, though
microbial dynamics across life stages and host generations remain poorly understood in …

All multicellular organisms are associated with microbial communities, ultimately forming a
metaorganism. Several studies conducted on well-established model organisms point to …
