Microbiomes <italic toggle="yes">In Natura</italic>: Importance of Invertebrates in Understanding the Natural Variety of Animal-Microbe Interactions

ABSTRACT Animals evolved in a world teeming with microbes, which play pivotal roles in their health, development, and evolution. Although the overwhelming majority of living animals are invertebrates, the minority of “microbiome” studies focus on this group. Interest in invertebrate-microbe interact...
