Climate change and climate‐driven increases in infectious disease threaten wildlife populations globally. Gut microbial responses are predicted to either buffer or exacerbate the negative impacts of these twin pressures on host populations. However,...

1. Daily light–dark cycles shape the circadian physiology and behaviour of nearly all organisms, with variation in circadian phenotypes having cascading effects on individual fitness, species interactions and species co-evolution. 2. Recent eviden... Read More about Circadian rhythms of hosts and their gut microbiomes: Implications for animal physiology and ecology.
