Microbial-driven genetic variation in holobionts
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2021 ABSTRACTGenetic variation in holobionts (host and microbiome), occurring in both host and microbiome genomes, can be observed from two perspectives: observable variations and processes that bring about the variation. Observable includes the enormous genetic diversity of prokaryotes, which gave rise to eukaryotes.

The Complexity of the Holobiont in the Red Sea Coral Euphyllia paradivisa under Heat Stress
Microorganisms, 2020 The recognition of the microbiota complexity and their role in the evolution of their host is leading to the popularization of the holobiont concept. However, the coral holobiont (host and its microbiota) is still enigmatic and unclear.

Microbial symbionts : a resource for the management of insect-related problems [PDF]
, 2011 Microorganisms establish with their animal hosts close interactions. They are involved in many aspects of the host life, physiology and evolution, including nutrition, reproduction, immune homeostasis, defence and speciation.

De novo metatranscriptomic exploration of gene function in the millipede holobiont
Scientific Reports, 2022 Invertebrate–microbial associations are widespread in the biosphere and are often related to the function of novel genes, fitness advantages, and even speciation events.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Holobionts formed by a host organism and associated symbionts are key biological units in marine ecosystems where they are responsible for fundamental ecosystem services. Therefore, understanding anthropogenic impacts on holobionts is essential. Sponges (

The Macroalgal Holobiont in a Changing Sea [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 2019 When studying the effects of climate change on eukaryotic organisms we often oversee a major ecological process: the interaction with microbes. Eukaryotic hosts and microbes form functional units, termed holobionts, where microbes play crucial roles in host functioning. Environmental stress may disturb these complex mutualistic relations.

A de novo approach to disentangle partner identity and function in holobiont systems
Microbiome, 2018 Background Study of meta-transcriptomic datasets involving non-model organisms represents bioinformatic challenges. The production of chimeric sequences and our inability to distinguish the taxonomic origins of the sequences produced are inherent and ...

Rapid acquisition of microorganisms and microbial genes can help explain punctuated evolution
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The punctuated mode of evolution posits that evolution occurs in rare bursts of rapid evolutionary change followed by long periods of genetic stability (stasis).
