Community changes of gut microbes highlight their importance in the adaptation of copepods to toxic dinoflagellates

Zooplankton grazers, like copepods, can feed on toxic microalgae and live normally. We hypothesize that gut microbial communities (GMCs) may contribute to the detoxification of the host by changing their compositions and recruiting more beneficial bacteria. Here, we measured the physiological respon...
