TL;DR: The emerging sub-categories of ‘indoorbiome’ studies are reviewed and examples to the species found in human houses are restricted – a subset of the envir-onments constituting the indoor biome – and pre-liminary hypotheses to advance the study of indoorevolution are offered.

Gut microbiome modulates behaviour and life history in two wild rodents
TL;DR: The microbiome can directly impact behaviour and host life history in the wild after chronic antibiotic treatment, and could have ecological and evolutionary implications for wild populations, a hitherto untested hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microsatellite markers from Ceanothus roderickii (Rhamnaceae) using next-generation sequencing technology
TL;DR: Results presented here indicate the utility of the new microsatellite primers in ongoing and future studies concerning population genetics and gene flow in C. roderickii, as well as the potential applicability of these primer in similar studies on other Ceanothus species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comprehensive Phylogenomics of Methylobacterium Reveals Four Evolutionary Distinct Groups and Underappreciated Phyllosphere Diversity
J-B Leducq,D. N. Sneddon,Malia Santos,Domitille Condrain-Morel,Geneviève Bourret,N. Cecilia Martinez-Gomez,Jessica A. Lee,James A. Foster,Sergey Stolyar,B. Jesse Shapiro,Steven W. Kembel,Jack Sullivan,Christopher J. Marx +12 more
TL;DR: This work inferred an ancient transition from a free-living lifestyle to association with plant roots in Methylobacteriaceae ancestor, followed by phyllosphere association of three of the major groups (A, B, D), which early branching in M methylobacterium history was heavily obscured by HGT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inconsistent effects of nitrogen canopy enrichment and soil warming on black spruce epiphytic phyllosphere bacterial communities, taxa, and functions
TL;DR: In a context where climate change threaten... as discussed by the authors, the Phyllosphere microbial communities have received considerable attention given their important influence on their plant hosts and on ecosystem functioning, especially in the context of climate change.
