Bacterial communities in the alpaca gastrointestinal tract vary with diet and body site.
Courtney Carroll,Kyle D. Olsen,Nathan J. Ricks,Kimberly A. Dill-McFarland,Garret Suen,T. F. Robinson,John M. Chaston +6 more
TL;DR: The findings of a diet- and body-site specific alpaca microbiota are consistent with previous findings in ruminants and other mammals, but there is no evidence to link changes in alpacas body condition with variation in microbiota relative abundance or identity.
Genome Sequence of Weissella cibaria DmW_103, Isolated from Wild Drosophila.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the fungal communities between sites that have and have not experienced stand failure of cheatgrass and found that the latter had an elevated abundance of Ramimonilia apicalis in samples that had experienced a stand failure.

Patterns of plant salinity adaptation depend on interactions with soil microbes
TL;DR: Ricks et al. as discussed by the authors found that plant salinity adaptation depends on interactions with soil microbes, and found that the salinity of plants adapts to salinity changes with the amount of salinity in the soil.
