The microbiome is known to provide benefits to hosts, including extension of immune
function. Amphibians are a powerful immunological model for examining mucosal defenses …

This review summarizes the role of environmental factors on amphibian microbiotas at the
organismal, population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere levels. At the organismal …

Amphibians' gut and skin microbiota are vital for host health. Ulcers may affect the skin
microbiota, with unknown impacts on the gut microbiota. Skin diseases could influence both …

Anthropogenic habitat disturbances can dramatically alter ecological community
interactions, including host–pathogen dynamics. Recent work has highlighted the potential …

Environmental change can disturb natural associations between wildlife and microbial
symbionts, in many cases to the detriment of host health. We used a North American …

Environmental pollutants could change the intestinal microbiota communities, while data
concerning the dynamics of the intestinal microbiota in response to different environmental …

Copper (Cu) is one of the environmental contaminations which can pose significant risks for
organisms. The current study explores the effects of Cu exposure on the growth, intestinal …

Microorganisms that live in association with amphibian skin can play important roles in
protecting their host. Within the scenarios of global change, it is important to understand how …

Habitat fragmentation can negatively impact wildlife populations by simplification of
ecological interactions, but little is known about how these impacts extend to host …

Host‐associated microbiomes play an essential role in the health of organisms, including
immune system activation, metabolism and energy uptake. It is well established that …
