The skin microbiome of elasmobranchs follows phylosymbiosis, but in teleost fishes, the microbiomes converge

Microbiome, 2020
Background The vertebrate clade diverged into Chondrichthyes (sharks, rays, and chimeras) and Osteichthyes fishes (bony fishes) approximately 420 mya, with each group accumulating vast anatomical and physiological differences, including skin properties ...

Comparative Analysis of Intestine Microbiota of Four Wild Waterbird Species

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Waterbirds are ubiquitous and globally distributed. Yet, studies on wild waterbirds’ gut microbiota are still rare. Our aim was to explore and compare the gut microbial community composition of wild waterbird species. Four wild waterbird species that are

Drivers of Microbiome Composition Among Helminth Parasites Sharing the Same Insectivorous Bat Host

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Parasitic metazoans are increasingly recognised to form close associations with microbial taxa. Under the holobiont concept, these associations are an eco‐evolutionary unit under joint selection. However, for most parasitic helminth species and particularly those associated with wildlife, these interactions and their effect on parasite ...

Diversity and structure of sparids external microbiota (Teleostei) and its link with monogenean ectoparasites

Animal Microbiome, 2022
Background Animal-associated microbial communities appear to be key factors in host physiology, ecology, evolution and its interactions with the surrounding environment.

Environment impacts gut microbiome richness in hybridizing chickadees, while ancestry influences community composition

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Among closely related species, host phylogenetic relationships are typically a stronger predictor of gut microbiome composition than environmental variation. However, the relative impact of genetic admixture caused by hybridization versus environmental variation on gut microbiome communities is poorly understood. To explore this knowledge gap,

Host-Microbe Coevolution: Applying Evidence from Model Systems to Complex Marine Invertebrate Holobionts

mBio, 2019
Marine invertebrates often host diverse microbial communities, making it difficult to identify important symbionts and to understand how these communities are structured.

Gut Microbiomes of Marine Zooplankton: Consequences for Host Performance, the Biological Carbon Pump, and Prokaryote Biogeography

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2026.
Expected effects of zooplankton microbiota on the host and on the ecosystem. Stylized mesozooplankton holobiont (center) with arrows indicating respiration within the gut and export of faecal pellets and associated microbes. Orange bubbles summarise microbiome‐mediated consequences for host performance (digestive help, detoxification, vitamin ...

Dietary Specialisation Shapes Gut Bacterial Diversity in Dung Beetles: Insights From Coprophagy to Millipede Carnivory

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Dung beetles feed on various food sources that are rich in microbial life. Here, we describe how the diets of seven dung beetle species, specialising in coprophagy, necrophagy, detritophagy, fungivory and carnivory influence their gut bacterial structure and diversity.

Evidences That Host Genetic Background More Than the Environment Shapes the Microbiota of the Snail Bulinus truncatus, an Intermediate Host of Schistosoma Species

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 6, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbiota have emerged as fundamental regulators of host physiology, shaping both ecological interactions and evolutionary trajectories. Yet, the determinants of microbiota diversity and structure in wild populations—particularly the respective roles of host genetics and environmental context—are still poorly understood.
