Ocean acidification alters the diversity and structure of oyster associated microbial communities

Abstract Host‐associated microbial communities are fundamental to host physiology, yet it is unclear how these communities will respond to environmental disturbances. Here, we disentangle the environment‐linked and host‐linked effects of ocean acidification on oyster‐associated microbial communities...
