Applying evolutionary theory to understand host–microbiome evolution - Nature Ecology & Evolution This Perspective discusses how well-established theoretical models of evolution can be adapted to study and generate testable predictions about the evolutionary dynamics of host–microbiota association...

I am happy to announce publication of our new perspectives paper on applying evolutionary theory to host-microbiome evolution - new tricks for old dogs! @bweek.bsky.social @uni-kiel.de @transevo.bsky.social @crc1182.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Putting the Global South on the Microbiome research map -

Really proud of Chilean PhD student @bvalderrama.bsky.social who championed this new important paper just out in ‪@natcomms.nature.com‬
