Aims to generate population-level paired genomic and metagenomic data of 20 vertebrates, to study the link between microbiomic breadth and plasticity with animals' ecological niche and adaptation capacity.
Aims to identify host and gut microbiota genetic variation associated with climatic adaptations in the European forest specialist bat Plecotus auritus.
Aims to elucidate the host genomic determinants of gut microbiota composition and dynamism using wild rodents as model species
Aims to characterise changes in gut microbiota composition and function in a Mediterranean bat (Pipistrellus kuhlii) that recently expanded its distribution into arid environments.
