The Intra-Dependence of Viruses and the Holobiont [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2017 Animals live in symbiosis with the microorganisms surrounding them. This symbiosis is necessary for animal health, as a symbiotic breakdown can lead to a disease state.

Conceptualization of the Holobiont Paradigm as It Pertains to Corals [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Corals’ obligate association with unicellular dinoflagellates, family Symbiodiniaceae form the foundation of coral reefs. For nearly a century, researchers have delved into understanding the coral-algal mutualism from multiple levels of resolution and ...

Prokaryotic horizontal gene transfer within the human holobiont: ecological-evolutionary inferences, implications and possibilities [PDF]
Microbiome, 2018 The ubiquity of horizontal gene transfer in the living world, especially among prokaryotes, raises interesting and important scientific questions regarding its effects on the human holobiont i.e., the human and its resident bacterial communities ...

Genetic clustering within massive Porites species complex is the primary driver of holobiont assembly. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe fate of coral reefs in response to climate change depends on their ability to adapt to new environments. The coral animal is buffered from environmental stress by its algal endosymbionts and microbial partners (together, the "holobiont").

The sponge holobiont in a changing ocean: from microbes to ecosystems [PDF]
Microbiome, 2018 The recognition that all macroorganisms live in symbiotic association with microbial communities has opened up a new field in biology. Animals, plants, and algae are now considered holobionts, complex ecosystems consisting of the host, the microbiota ...

Destabilization of mutualistic interactions shapes the early heat stress response of the coral holobiont [PDF]
MicrobiomeBackground The stability of the symbiotic relationship between coral and their dinoflagellate algae (Symbiodiniaceae) is disrupted by ocean warming. Although the coral thermal response depends on the complex interactions between host, Symbiodiniaceae and

A community perspective on the concept of marine holobionts: current status, challenges, and future directions [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Host-microbe interactions play crucial roles in marine ecosystems. However, we still have very little understanding of the mechanisms that govern these relationships, the evolutionary processes that shape them, and their ecological consequences.
