DOI: 10.1007/s00248-017-1034-7
Abstract: In organisms with complex life histories, dramatic changes in microbial community structure may occur with host development and immune system maturation. Amphibian host susceptibility to diseases such as chytridiomycosis may be affected by the reorganization… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/femsec/fiaa248
Abstract: Amphibians host diverse skin bacteria that have a role in pathogen defense, but these skin communities could change over time and impact this function. Here, we monitored individual Eastern red-spotted newts (Notophthalmus viridescens; N =… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.5960
Abstract: Animal skin acts as a barrier between the organism and its environment and provides the first line of defense against invading pathogens. Thus, skin surfaces harbor communities of microbes that are interacting with both the… read more here.
