Mixed-Mode Transmission Shapes Termite Gut Community Assemblies

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

Understanding how microbial symbiont community assemblies are shaped over evolutionary time is challenging. The current state of the art involves exploring similarities and differences in communities within and between host species, often aiming to link these to host ecology and evolution. However, this masks the evolutionary histories of individual bacterial lineages.
