The neuropharmacology of butyrate: The bread and butter of the microbiota-gut-brain axis? (2016, background): “Due to their intimate relationship with the host, microbes have been suggested to play important roles in establishing host social behaviours and particularly the evolution and development of mammalian social group living by mutual benefit to the fitness of both host and microbes (Lombardo, 2008; Mo”
Seasonal shifts in the insect gut microbiome are concurrent with changes in cold tolerance and immunity (2018, background): “Second, the density of crickets did decline during our study, 460 which could reduce potential social transmission of microbes (Lombardo 2007).”
The Hologenome Concept: Human, Animal and Plant Microbiota (2014, background): “Lombardo (2008) has argued that access to mutualistic endosymbiotic microbes is an underappreciated benefit of group living and was probably a strong selective force in the evolution of social behavior.”
Socially transmitted gut microbiota protect bumble bees against an intestinal parasite (2011, background): “With regard to social insects, group living can facilitate the transmission of not only parasites (10) but also beneficial microbes (11).”
Symbiotic association between hoopoes and antibiotic- producing bacteria that live in their uropygial gland (2008, background): “…there are reports of highly integrated symbiotic associations (sensu, Herre et al. 1999; Thompson 2005) between animals and antibioticproducing bacteria (Gil-Turnes, Hay & Fenical 1989; Currie et al. 1999; Oliver et al. 2003) that have been reviewed recently elsewhere (Moran 2006; Lombardo 2008).”
Antibiotic-Producing Bacteria as a Possible Defence of Birds against Pathogenic Microorganisms (2010, background): “The acquisition of protective endosymbionts from conspecifics has recently been suggested as an important but underappreciated benefit of animals living in groups [43].”
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 ].”
Three Problems for the Mutual Manipulability Account of Constitutive Relevance in Mechanisms (2012, background): “An amino acid is essential for an organism (in casu the aphids) if the organism cannot synthesize it in sufficient quantities; it must therefore be present in the diet (Martin and Hine [2008]).”
Animal behaviour meets microbial ecology (2011, background): “Second, social relationships can mediate exposure and susceptibility to symbiotic bacteria, and this socially mediated transmission can influence the evolutionary costs and benefits of social relationships (Troyer 1984; Lombardo 2008).”
Group living and pathogen infection revisited (2016, unknown): “Therefore, if social contact promotes the exchange of commensal microbes and the maintenance of a more diverse microbiome, it is plausible that microbially-mediated pathogen resistance might be an underappreciated benefit of living in groups [33,34].”
