Eco-evolutionary dynamics of host–microbiome interactions in a natural population of closely related mouse subspecies and their hybrids | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences Closely related host species share similar symbionts, but the effects of host genetic admixture and environmental conditions on these communities remain largely unknown. We investigated the influence of host genetic admixture and environmental factors on ...

🚨 New Paper Alert!

Congrats to @vhjarquind.bsky.social on his new paper revealing how host genetics, microbiomes, and hybridization shape eco-evolutionary processes in natural populations.
