We performed a reciprocal transplant of eelgrass and examined the microbial community on the surfaces of leaves and roots of plants. This allowed us to determine effects of environment vs. host on mic
To test whether host animals regulate genetically their microbiota to enhance fitness, we transplanted microbiota between two genetically distinct genotypes of obligate parthenogenetic Daphnia cf. pul
Diet composition is vital in shaping gut microbial assemblage in many insects. Minimal knowledge is available about the influence of transgenerational diet transition on gut microbial community struct
