Abstract: Vertebrate lungs contain diverse microbial communities, but little is known about the drivers of community composition or consequences for health. Microbiome assembly by processes such as dispersal, coevolution, and host-switching can be probed with comparative… read more here.

Abstract: The vertebrate lung is the organ with the largest surface area presented to the external environment. The combined alveolar surface area of both adult human lungs is about 100 m [1], and typically 10,000 to… read more here.
