Understanding how microbial symbiont community assemblies are shaped over evolutionary time is challenging. The current state of the art involves exploring similarities and differences in communities within and between host species, often aiming to link these to host ecology and evolution. However, this masks the evolutionary histories of individual bacterial lineages.
理解微生物共生体群落如何在进化过程中形成是具有挑战性的。目前的技术水平包括探索宿主物种内部和之间群落的相似性和差异性,通常旨在将这些与宿主生态和进化联系起来。然而,这掩盖了个别细菌谱系的进化历史。
