Microbial communities are indicators of parasite infection status
Abstract Growing evidence suggests that microbiomes have been shaping the evolutionary pathways of macroorganisms for millennia and that these tiny symbionts can influence, and possibly even control, species interactions like host–parasite relationships.

Dynamics of microbial communities during decomposition of litter from pioneering plants in initial soil ecosystems [PDF]
In initial ecosystems, concentrations of all macro- and micronutrients can be considered as extremely low. Plant litter therefore strongly influences the development of a degrader's food web and is an important source for C and N input into soil in such ...
