Microbiota Associated With Ototyphlonemertes Species (Nemertea, Hoplonemertea, Monostilifera, Ototyphlonemertidae) Reveal Evidence of Phylosymbiosis [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionPhylosymbiosis, the association between the phylogenetic relatedness of hosts and the composition of their microbial communities, is a widespread phenomenon in diverse animal taxa.

Variable phylosymbiosis and cophylogeny patterns in wild fish gut microbiota of a large subtropical river [PDF]
mSphereThe persistence and specificity of fish host-microbial interaction during evolution is an important part of exploring the host-microbial symbiosis mechanism.

mSystems, 2022 The degree of similarity between the microbiotas of host species often mirrors the phylogenetic proximity of the hosts. This pattern, referred to as phylosymbiosis, is widespread in animals and plants.

Phylogenetic influence on gut microbiome diversity within an African herbivore community [PDF]
BMC Ecology and EvolutionBackground The microbial community within the gastrointestinal tract, known as the gut microbiome (GMB), is a complex micro-ecosystem that is modulated by the life history and physiological traits of the host as well as environmental conditions ...

Finer-Scale Phylosymbiosis: Insights from Insect Viromes
mSystems, 2018 Phylosymbiosis was recently proposed to describe the eco-evolutionary pattern whereby the ecological relatedness (e.g., beta diversity relationships) of host-associated microbial communities parallels the phylogeny of the host species.

Is Host Filtering the Main Driver of Phylosymbiosis across the Tree of Life?
mSystems, 2018 Host-associated microbiota composition can be conserved over evolutionary time scales. Indeed, closely related species often host similar microbiota; i.e., the composition of their microbiota harbors a phylogenetic signal, a pattern sometimes referred to

Host Phylogeny Shapes Gut Microbiota and Predicted Functions in Captive Artiodactyls [PDF]
MicroorganismsHost phylogeny can imprint the gut microbiota, but it is often masked by diet and environment. Leveraging the standardized husbandry of a zoological collection, we profiled fecal microbiota from 55 captive artiodactyls representing 12 species in Bovidae,

Host‐Associated Differentiation of Gut Microbiota Among Four Crane Species Wintering in Rice Paddies Around Poyang Lake [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionWhether different bird species retain distinct gut microbial communities when using the same broad foraging habitat remains unclear. We used 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to characterize fecal microbiota from 51 samples representing four crane ...

The Role of Geography, Diet, and Host Phylogeny on the Gut Microbiome in the Hawaiian Honeycreeper Radiation [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe animal gut microbiome can have a strong influence on the health, fitness, and behavior of its hosts. The composition of the gut microbial community can be influenced by factors such as diet, environment, and evolutionary history (phylosymbiosis ...

Gut fungal profiles reveal phylosymbiosis and codiversification across humans and nonhuman primates. [PDF]
PLoS BiologyFungi in the gut microbiome, collectively known as the mycobiome, are a prevalent yet neglected component of the human holobiont. A major question in the study of gut microbial communities is whether fungi exhibit eco-evolutionary patterns that are ...
