The gut microbiome reflects ancestry despite dietary shifts across a hybrid zone
The microbiome is critical to an organism's phenotype, and its composition is shaped by,
and a driver of, eco‐evolutionary interactions. We investigated how host ancestry, habitat …

Assembly and annotation of 2 high-quality columbid reference genomes from sequencing of a Columba livia × Columba guinea F1 hybrid
Pigeons and doves (family Columbidae) are one of the most diverse extant avian lineages,
and many species have served as key models for evolutionary genomics, developmental …

Parallel gene expansions drive rapid dietary adaptation in herbivorous woodrats
How mammalian herbivores evolve to feed on chemically defended plants remains poorly
understood. In this study, we investigated the adaptation of two species of woodrats …

[HTML][HTML] Emerging role of the crosstalk between gut microbiota and liver metabolome of subterranean herbivores in response to toxic plants
Y Tan, B Yao, Y Kang, S Shi, Z Shi, J Su - Ecotoxicology and Environmental …, 2024 - Elsevier
Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) are a defense mechanism against herbivores, which in
turn use detoxification metabolism to process ingested and absorbed PSMs. The feeding …

Wild herbivorous mammals (genus Neotoma) host a diverse but transient assemblage of fungi
Fungi are often overlooked in microbiome research and, as a result, little is known about the
mammalian mycobiome. Although frequently detected in vertebrate guts and known to …

Asymmetric mate preference and reproductive interference mediate climate-induced changes in mate availability in a small mammal hybrid zone
Range expansion and contraction are among the most common biotic responses to
changing environmental conditions, yet much is to be learned about the mechanisms that …

Specific Gene Duplication and Loss of Cytochrome P450 in Families 1-3 in Carnivora (Mammalia, Laurasiatheria)
Simple Summary In this study we investigated the specific duplication and loss events of
cytochrome P450 (CYP) genes in families 1-3 in Carnivora. These genes have been …

The desert woodrat (Neotoma lepida) induces a diversity of biotransformation genes in response to creosote bush resin
Liver biotransformation enzymes have long been thought to enable animals to feed on diets
rich in xenobiotic compounds. However, despite decades of pharmacological research in …

The microbiome buffers tadpole hosts from heat stress: a hologenomic approach to understand host–microbe interactions under warming
SS Fontaine, KD Kohl - Journal of Experimental Biology, 2023 - journals.biologists.com
Phenotypic plasticity is an important strategy that animals employ to respond and adjust to
changes in their environment. Plasticity may occur via changes in host gene expression or …
