Interplay between antipredator behavior, parasitism, and gut microbiome in wild stickleback populations

Abstract The impact of microbial composition on stress-related behavior in aquatic organisms is poorly understood. This study explored the link between antipredator behavior, parasitism, and the gut microbiome in wild stickleback from two lakes: clear, spring-fed Galtaból and turbid, glacial-fed Þri...
