Host habitat rather than evolutionary history explains gut microbiome diversity in sympatric stickleback species

Host-associated microbiota can influence host phenotypic variation, fitness and potential to adapt to local environmental conditions. In turn, both host evolutionary history and the abiotic and biotic environment can influence the diversity and composition of microbiota. Yet, to what extent environm...
