How Host Phylogeny and Diet Shape the Specificity and Specificity Diversity of Animal Gut Microbiomes

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
By identifying unique/enriched microbial species across taxa and diet types in 318 animal species with our SSD (specificity and specificity diversity) framework, we demonstrated that host phylogeny and diet are joint drivers of microbial specificity compositional heterogeneity, potentially linking the macroecological pattern of phylosymbiosis with the ...
