Timing matters: age-dependent impacts of the social environment and host selection on the avian gut microbiota

Abstract Background The establishment of the gut microbiota in early life is a critical process that influences the development and fitness of vertebrates. However, the relative influence of transmission from the early social environment and host selection throughout host ontogeny remains understudi...
