| Abstract | Animals and plants host communities of bacteria and other microorganisms—known as microbiomes—that are essential for health. A central goal of microbiome science is to discover what causes the microbiome to change, and the broader consequences of such change. A consistent pattern emerging from this research is that the microbiome is seasonal: an animal in spring, for example, will have a very different microbial makeup from one in fall. But what causes the microbiome to change? And do seasonal m |
