Ecological specificity of the metagenome in a set of lower termite species supports contribution of the microbiome to adaptation of the host
BACKGROUND: Elucidating the interplay between hosts and their microbiomes in ecological adaptation has become a central theme in evolutionary biology. A textbook example of microbiome-mediated adaptation is the adaptation of lower termites to a wood-based diet, as they depend on their gut microbiome...
