Microbiota responses to new conditions can have major fitness implications for the host. In my work, I combine ecology, evolution, microbiology, and physiology to track the dynamics of host and microbial responses under environmental change. Currently, I am studying how domestication has shaped the microbiota and how the microbiota help buffer marine organisms against environmental variation.
