Movement ecology and sex are linked to barn owl microbial community composition. [PDF]

, 2020
The behavioural ecology of host species is likely to affect their microbial communities, because host sex, diet, physiology, and movement behaviour could all potentially influence their microbiota.

Scan-o-matic: High-Resolution Microbial Phenomics at a Massive Scale

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016
The capacity to map traits over large cohorts of individuals—phenomics—lags far behind the explosive development in genomics. For microbes, the estimation of growth is the key phenotype because of its link to fitness.

Microbial genomic taxonomy [PDF]

, 2013
A need for a genomic species definition is emerging from several independent studies worldwide. In this commentary paper, we discuss recent studies on the genomic taxonomy of diverse microbial groups and a unified species definition based on genomics ...

Structure, function and diversity of the healthy human microbiome [PDF]

, 2012
Studies of the human microbiome have revealed that even healthy individuals differ remarkably in the microbes that occupy habitats such as the gut, skin and vagina. Much of this diversity remains unexplained, although diet, environment, host genetics and

Social interaction, noise and antibiotic-mediated switches in the intestinal microbiota [PDF]

, 2012
The intestinal microbiota plays important roles in digestion and resistance against entero-pathogens. As with other ecosystems, its species composition is resilient against small disturbances but strong perturbations such as antibiotics can affect the ...

Limited effects of plant-beneficial fungi on plant volatile composition and host-choice behavior of Nesidiocoris tenuis

Frontiers in Plant Science
Biological control using plant-beneficial fungi has gained considerable interest as a sustainable method for pest management, by priming the plant for enhanced defense against pathogens and insect herbivores.

Inoviridae prophage and bacterial host dynamics during diversification, succession, and Atlantic invasion of Pacific-native Vibrio parahaemolyticus

mBio
The epidemiology of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, the leading cause of seafood-borne bacterial gastroenteritis of humans worldwide, dramatically changed in the United States following the establishment of a Pacific-native lineage called sequence type (ST) 36 ...

From Diverse Origins to Specific Targets: Role of Microorganisms in Indirect Pest Biological Control

Insects, 2020
Integrated pest management (IPM) is today a widely accepted pest management strategy to select and use the most efficient control tactics and at the same time reduce over-dependence on chemical insecticides and their potentially negative environmental ...
