Phylogenetic signal in the community structure of host-specific microbiomes of tropical marine sponges
Sponges (Porifera) can host diverse and abundant communities of microbial symbionts that make crucial contributions to host metabolism. Although these communities are often host-specific and hypothesized to co-evolve with their hosts, correlations between host phylogeny and microbiome community stru...
