Fig. 2: Microbiome responds to host experimental evolution.
Experimental evolution is a powerful tool to understand the genetic basis of adaptation. A Hypothesized schematic of the microbial response during adaptation in flies. B Microbial diversity is frequently reduced in evolved populations during experimental evolution in flies. Data is reproduced from Henry & Ayroles123. Here, each point represents Shannon diversity of metagenomes from a pool of sequenced flies. Asterisks denote the experiments where microbial diversity is significantly different between control and evolved populations.
