Community richness of amphibian skin bacteria correlates with bioclimate at the global scale
(Nature, 2019)Animal-associated microbiomes are integral to host health, yet key biotic and abiotic factors that shape host-associated microbial communities at the global scale remain poorly understood. We investigated global patterns ... -
Core bacterial community of soy-daddawa: insights from high-throughput DNA metabarcoding
(Elsevier, 2018)High-throughput sequence analysis of microbial communities in food matrices provides unprecedented insights into species richness and potential safety of foods. Here, the bacterial community of soy-daddawa, a fermented ... -
Genetic variability and ontogeny predict microbiome structure in a disease-challenged montane amphibian
(Nature, 2018)Amphibian populations worldwide are at risk of extinction from infectious diseases, including chytridiomycosis caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Amphibian cutaneous microbiomes interact ... -
Microbiomics of Namib Desert habitats
(Springer, 2020)The Namib Desert is one of the world’s only truly coastal desert ecosystem. Until the end of the 1st decade of the twenty-first century, very little was known of the microbiology of this southwestern African desert, with ... -
Urbanization erodes ectomycorrhizal fungal diversity and may cause microbial communities to converge
(Springer Nature, 2017)Urbanization alters the physicochemical environment, introduces non-native species and causes ecosystem characteristics to converge. It has been speculated that these alterations contribute to loss of regional and global ...
