New study shows how microbial transmission can affect adaptive behavior | ASU News
Most of us are familiar with natural selection — the process where organisms with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those traits to their offs...

A big congratulations to my PhD student, Aishwarya Patel, for advancing to candidacy! She studies how host–microbiome mismatches shape health and phenotype using three deer mouse species across field and captive experiments. Excited to see where her work goes next! @aishwarya-patel.bsky.social

Late to the game, but excited to join Bluesky! Grateful to everyone who contributed to this study!
We selected the laziest mouse at each round to inoculate the next batch of germfree mice: over rounds of selection and passaging, behavior shifted without changes to the mouse genome: rdcu.be/eM3rO

Selection and transmission of the gut microbiome alone can shift mammalian behavior
Nature Communications - Here, the authors present evidence that the gut microbiome alone, without changes in the host genome, can shape how animals respond to selection, identifying a bacterium and...
