Amphibian gut microbiota shifts differentially in community structure but converges on habitat-specific predicted functions
Host-associated microbial communities can shift in structure or function when hosts change locations. Bletzet al. reciprocally transfer salamander larvae between pond and stream habitats to show that gut microbiomes shift in function, but not necessarily taxonomic identities, when hosts encounter a...

| Sumario: | Host-associated microbial communities can shift in structure or function when hosts change locations. Bletzet al. reciprocally transfer salamander larvae between pond and stream habitats to show that gut microbiomes shift in function, but not necessarily taxonomic identities, when hosts encounter a new environment. |
