Adapting to Novel Environments Together: Evolutionary and Ecological Correlates of the Bacterial Microbiome of the World’s Largest Cavefish Diversification (Cyprinidae, Sinocyclocheilus)

The symbiosis between a host and its microbiome is essential for host fitness, and this association is a consequence of the host’s physiology and habitat. Sinocyclocheilus, the largest cavefish diversification of the world, an emerging multi-species model system for evolutionary novelty, provides an...
