Skin Microbiomes of California Terrestrial Salamanders Are Influenced by Habitat More Than Host Phylogeny
A multitude of microorganisms live on and within plant and animal hosts, yet the ecology and evolution of these microbial communities remains poorly understood in many taxa. This study examined the extent to which environmental factors and host taxonomic identity explain microbiome variation within two salamander genera, Ensatina and Batrachoseps, in the family Plethodontidae. In particular, we...
متن کاملMarine mammals harbor unique microbiotas shaped by and yet distinct from the sea
Marine mammals play crucial ecological roles in the oceans, but little is known about their microbiotas. Here we study the bacterial communities in 337 samples from 5 body sites in 48 healthy dolphins and 18 healthy sea lions, as well as those of adjacent seawater and other hosts. The bacterial taxonomic compositions are distinct from those of other mammals, dietary fish and seawater, are highl...
متن کاملSkin Microbiome Surveys Are Strongly Influenced by Experimental Design.
Culture-independent studies to characterize skin microbiota are increasingly common, due in part to affordable and accessible sequencing and analysis platforms. Compared to culture-based techniques, DNA sequencing of the bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene or whole metagenome shotgun (WMS) sequencing provides more precise microbial community characterizations. Most widely used protocols wer...
متن کاملMorphology and placental mammal phylogeny.
In a recent article on placental mammal phylogeny (Springer et al., 2007), we discussed evidence for correlated character evolution among morphological characters. We also performed pseudoextinction analyses that assessed whether placental orders remained in the expected superordinal group (Afrotheria, Xenarthra, Euarchontoglires, Laurasiatheria) when molecular and soft-tissue data were coded a...

Audiogram: A graph of hearing ability charting frequency (abcissa) vs. sensitivity measured as sound pressure or intensity (ordinate). Cetaceans: Whales and dolphins decibel (dB): a scale based on the log ratio of two quantities. It is commonly used to represent sound pressure level or sound intensity. The value of the decibel depends upon the denominator used, or reference pressure. Therefore ...
