Host‐associated microbes influence host health and function and can be a first line of defence against infections. While research increasingly shows that terrestrial plant microbiomes contribute to bacterial, fungal, and oomycete disease resistance, no comparable experimental work has investigated marine plant microbiomes or more diverse disease agents. We test the hypothesis that the eelgrass ( Zostera marina ) leaf microbiom...
Alternate life history phases of a common seaweed have distinct microbial surface communitiesNARA Subscribed
Macroalgal life histories are complex, often involving the alternation of distinct free‐living life history phases that differ in morphology, longevity and ploidy. The surfaces of marine macroalgae support diverse microbial biofilms, yet the degree of microbial variation between alternate phases is unknown. We quantified bacterial (16S rRNA gene) and microeukaryote (18S rRNA gene) communities on the surface of the common inter...
The amphibian skin‐associated microbiome across species, space and life history stagesNARA Subscribed
Skin‐associated bacteria of amphibians are increasingly recognized for their role in defence against pathogens, yet we have little understanding of their basic ecology. Here, we use high‐throughput 16 S r RNA gene sequencing to examine the host and environmental influences on the skin microbiota of the cohabiting amphibian species A naxyrus boreas, P seudacris regilla, T aricha torosa and L ithobates catesbeianus from the C en...
