Allelochemicals produced by Caribbean macroalgae and cyanobacteria have species-specific effects on reef coral microorganisms (2011, background): “It has been suggested that the coral host regulates and selects for the most advantageous microbial symbionts in the context of prevailing environmental conditions (Reshef et al. 2006; Zilber-Rosenberg and Rosenberg 2008).”
The Epidemiology and Evolution of Symbionts with Mixed-Mode Transmission (2013, background): “More generally, microbiota are important for the overall well-being of multicellular organisms (Dethlefsen et al. 2006, Ley et al. 2006, Zilber-Rosenberg & Rosenberg 2008).”
Microbiome definition re-visited: old concepts and new challenges (2020, background): “Hostmicrobe coevolution is important to consider in order to facilitate a holistic understanding of the microbiota [12, 136] (Fig.”
The Cucurbita pepo seed microbiome: genotype-specific composition and implications for breeding (2016, background): “evolve as one unit to provide benefits to one another including defense mechanisms (Zilber-Rosenberg and Rosenberg 2008).”
The rhizosphere microbiome: significance of plant beneficial, plant pathogenic, and human pathogenic microorganisms. (2013, background): “Zilber-Rosenberg & Rosenberg (2008) proposed the hologenome theory of evolution, where the hologenome is defined as the sum of the genetic information of the host and its microbiome.”
The Hologenome Concept: Human, Animal and Plant Microbiota (2014, methodology): “In our initial publication of the hologenome concept (Zilber-Rosenberg and Rosenberg 2008), we noted that the hologenome concept fits within the framework of the superorganism first proposed by Wheeler (1928) and revived by Wilson and Sober (1989). Since that time there has been numerous scientific ”
Commensal bacteria play a role in mating preference of Drosophila melanogaster (2010, background): “The data presented here provide further support for the hologenome theory of evolution (17), which posits that the holobiont (host plus its associated microorganisms) acts as a unit of selection in evolutionary change.”
Lactobacillus plantarum promotes Drosophila systemic growth by modulating hormonal signals through TOR-dependent nutrient sensing. (2011, background): “They emphasize the role of the microbiota in the adaptation of its host to different nutritional conditions that can be encountered in the wild and support the hologenome theory of evolution (Fraune and Bosch, 2010; Zilber-Rosenberg and Rosenberg, 2008).”
Holobionts as Units of Selection and a Model of Their Population Dynamics and Evolution (2018, background): “The “hologenome concept of evolution” considers the holobiont with its hologenome as a level of selection in evolution (Rosenberg et al. 2007; Zilber-Rosenberg and Rosenberg 2008).”
Metformin Retards Aging in C. elegans by Altering Microbial Folate and Methionine Metabolism (2013, background): “It has been argued that the host and its symbiotic microbiome acting in association (holobiont) should be considered as a unit of selection in evolution (Zilber-Rosenberg and Rosenberg, 2008).”
Social behavior and the microbiome (2015, background): “[4,8]), environmental factors can lead to surprisingly rapid shifts in host microbial communities, at least in the gut [35 ].”
Bacterial symbionts as mediators of ecologically important traits of insect hosts (2011, background): “In turn, the sum of genetic information carried by the holobiont and the microbiota is termed hologenome (Zilber-Rosenberg & Rosenberg, 2008).”
Plant compartment and biogeography affect microbiome composition in cultivated and native Agave species (2015, background): “Indeed, it has been proposed that plants should be considered a collective ‘holobiont’ rather than standalone entities (Zilber-Rosenberg & Rosenberg, 2008; Vandenkoornhuyse et al., 2015).”
It’s the song, not the singer: an exploration of holobiosis and evolutionary theory (2017, background): “…with its hologenome, acting in consortium, should be considered a unit of selection in evolution, and that relatively rapid variation in the diverse microbial symbionts can have an important role in the adaptation and evolution of the holobiont (Zilber-Rosenberg and Rosenberg 2008, 723–724).”
