Journal ArticleDOI
Links between environment, diet, and the hunter-gatherer microbiome.
Gabriela K. Fragiadakis,Samuel A. Smits,Erica D. Sonnenburg,Will Van Treuren,Gregor Reid,Rob Knight,Alphaxard Manjurano,John Changalucha,Maria Gloria Dominguez-Bello,Jeff Leach,Justin L. Sonnenburg +10 more
TL;DR: Additional observations from the Hadza microbiota and their lifestyle and environment are presented, including microbes detected on hands, water, and animal sources, how the microbiota varies with sex and age, and the short-term effects of introducing agricultural products into the diet.
Journal ArticleDOI
The gut microbiome of nonhuman primates: Lessons in ecology and evolution.
Jonathan B. Clayton,Andres Gomez,Katherine R. Amato,Dan Knights,Dominic A. Travis,Ran Blekhman,Rob Knight,Steven R. Leigh,Steven R. Leigh,Rebecca M. Stumpf,Tiffany M. Wolf,Kenneth E. Glander,Francis Cabana,Timothy J. Johnson +13 more
TL;DR: It is highlighted how studying the gut microbiome of NHPs offers new insights into primate nutrition, physiology, and immune system function, as well as enhances the understanding of primate ecology and evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ribosomal RNA diversity predicts genome diversity in gut bacteria and their relatives
TL;DR: The relationship between 16 S rRNA gene sequence similarity and overall levels of gene conservation in four groups of species: gut specialists and cosmopolitans, each of which can be divided into pathogens and non-pathogens is characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host age, social group, and habitat type influence the gut microbiota of wild ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta)
Genevieve Bennett,Matthew Malone,Michelle L. Sauther,Frank P. Cuozzo,Bryan A. White,Karen E. Nelson,Rebecca M. Stumpf,Rob Knight,Steven R. Leigh,Katherine R. Amato +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that habitat disturbance may not impact the lemur gut microbiota as strongly as it impacts the gut microbiota of other primate species, highlighting the importance of distinct host ecological and physiological factors on host‐gut microbe relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intermodal auditory, visual, and tactile attention modulates early stages of neural processing
Christina M. Karns,Rob Knight +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that intermodal attention enhances neural processing relatively early in the sensory stream independent from differential effects of spatial and intramodal selective attention.
