Spider phylosymbiosis: divergence of widow spider species and their tissues’ microbiomes

Abstract Background Microbiomes can have profound impacts on host biology and evolution, but to date, remain vastly understudied in spiders despite their unique and diverse predatory adaptations. This study evaluates closely related species of spiders and their host-microbe relationships in the cont...
