Why Evolve Reliance on the Microbiome for Timing of Ontogeny?

ABSTRACT The timing of life history events has important fitness consequences. Since the 1950s, researchers have combined first principles and data to predict the optimal timing of life history transitions. Recently, a striking mystery has emerged. Such transitions can be shaped by a completely diff...
