… organisms (the holobiont) has been shaping the evolutionary pathways of macroorganisms for thousands of years, and that these tiny symbionts can influence species interactions. Yet, while studies have investigated host-parasites and microbiomes separately, how the two systems interact and …

Untangling the coevolutionary history between doves and their parasitic lice
In host-parasite systems, any given host species can be associated with multiple types of parasites, each of which can have a unique ecological relationship with the host. However, it remains unclear how these ecological differences link to evolutionary patterns. What shapes the dynamics of a …
