Social behavior and the microbiome
Animals are home to diverse bacterial communities that can affect their hosts’ physiology, metabolism, and susceptibility to disease. Here we highlight recent research that reveals surprising and important connections between an individual’s microbiome and its social behavior. We focus on two recent discoveries: (i) that social interactions can affect the taxonomic and genic composition of anim...

W hy did social interactions evolve? Complex rules govern how we interact when we meet, and while these principles are often bewildering, they are also somehow intrinsic to the fabric of a...
متن کاملSocial behavior shapes the chimpanzee pan-microbiome
Animal sociality facilitates the transmission of pathogenic microorganisms among hosts, but the extent to which sociality enables animals' beneficial microbial associations is poorly understood. The question is critical because microbial communities, particularly those in the gut, are key regulators of host health. We show evidence that chimpanzee social interactions propagate microbial diversi...
متن کاملSpeciation by Symbiosis: the Microbiome and Behavior
Species are fundamental units of comparison in biology. The newly discovered importance and ubiquity of host-associated microorganisms are now stimulating work on the roles that microbes can play in animal speciation. We previously synthesized the literature and advanced concepts of speciation by symbiosis with notable attention to hybrid sterility and lethality. Here, we review recent studies ...
