Ecological differences among hydrothermal vent symbioses may drive contrasting patterns of symbiont population differentiation

Ecological differences among hydrothermal vent symbioses may drive contrasting patterns of symbiont population differentiation

ABSTRACT The intra-host composition of horizontally transmitted microbial symbionts can vary across host populations due to interactive effects of host genetics, environmental, and geographic factors. While adaptation to local habitat conditions can drive geographic subdivision of symbiont strains,...
