Clonal Plants as Meta-Holobionts
mSystems, 2019 The holobiont concept defines a given organism and its associated symbionts as a potential level of selection over evolutionary time. In clonal plants, recent experiments demonstrated vertical transmission of part of the microbiota from one ramet (i.e ...

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.

On the holobiont ‘predictome’ of immunocompetence in pigs
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2023 Abstract Background Gut microbial composition plays an important role in numerous traits, including immune response. Integration of host genomic information with microbiome data is a natural step in the prediction of complex traits, although methods to optimize this are still largely unexplored.

Species-specific viromes in the ancestral holobiont Hydra. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Recent evidence showing host specificity of colonizing bacteria supports the view that multicellular organisms are holobionts comprised of the macroscopic host in synergistic interdependence with a heterogeneous and host-specific microbial community ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 In the past 20 years, a new concept has slowly emerged and expanded to various domains of marine biology research: the holobiont. A holobiont describes the consortium formed by a eukaryotic host and its associated microorganisms including bacteria ...

A metaphysical approach to holobiont individuality: Holobionts as emergent individuals
Quaderns de Filosofia, 2019 Abstract: Holobionts are symbiotic assemblages composed by a host plus its microbiome. The status of holobionts as individuals has recently been a subject of continuous controversy, which has given rise to two main positions: on the one hand, holobiont advocates argue that holobionts are biological individuals; on the other, holobiont detractors argue ...

The roles and interactions of symbiont, host and environment in defining coral fitness. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND: Reef-building corals live in symbiosis with a diverse range of dinoflagellate algae (genus Symbiodinium) that differentially influence the fitness of the coral holobiont.

Functional Ecology, 2020 Abstract Organismal biology has undergone a dramatic paradigm shift in the last decade. The realization that host cells and genes are outnumbered by symbiotic microbial cells and their genes has forced us to rethink our focus on ‘individuals’. It is also becoming increasingly clear that the ecology and biology of animals and plants are intimately ...
