Abstract: ​Determining​the​evolutionary​mechanisms,​genomic​outcomes​and​ functional​consequences​of​adaptation​is​of​paramount​importance​ for​our​understanding​of​the​nature​of​evolution,​and​for​predicting​ the​evolutionary​responses​of​organisms​in​the​face​of​the​current​ and​ future​ global​ changes.​ Microorganisms​ which​ are​ associated​ with​humans​(as​members​of​the​human​microbiome,​or​associated​ with​domesticated​plants​or​animals)​provide​ideal​models​to​study​ adaptation​and​specialisation.​These​microbes​are​diverse​and​many​ possess​outstanding​experimental​assets,​such​as​small​genomes​and​ membership​in​relatively​simple​multi-​species​communities​(Gladieux​ et​al.,​2014;​Rosshart​et​al.,​2019;​Seybold​et​al.,​2020).​In​addition,​ studying​microbial​ evolution​ in​ human-​associated​ environments​ is​ effective​because​population​genetic​processes​(i.e.​genetic​drift​and​ selection)​are​often​strong​and​recent​(Gladieux​et​al.,​2014;​Ropars​ &​ Giraud,​ 2022).​ Furthermore,​ human-​associated​ microbes​ often​ have​important​impacts​on​human​health​as​members​of​our​microbiomes,​as​human​pathogens​or​as​associates​of​food​production​for​ crop​microbiomes,​… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2017.00611

Abstract: Over the last decade we have come to appreciate that there are close relationships between all “higher” organisms and communities of microbes. The human microbiome and its role in human metabolism and health, is being… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/md19060308

Abstract: Marine tunicates are identified as a potential source of marine natural products (MNPs), demonstrating a wide range of biological properties, like antimicrobial and anticancer activities. The symbiotic relationship between tunicates and specific microbial groups has… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.7295

Abstract: Background Biological invasions are major drivers of environmental change that can significantly alter ecosystem function and diversity. In plants, soil microbes play an important role in plant establishment and growth; however, relatively little is known… read more here.
