Exploring the Ecological Implications of Microbiota Diversity in Birds: Natural Barriers Against Avian Malaria

Natural antibodies (Abs), produced in response to bacterial gut microbiota, drive resistance to infection in vertebrates. In natural systems, gut microbiota diversity is expected to shape the spectrum of natural Abs and resistance to parasites. This hypothesis has not been empirically tested. In thi...
