Testing the effect of host availability on endobiont diversity: proposing the single hotel hypothesis
Abstract This study investigates the determinants of endobionts diversity within habitat-forming organisms, employing concepts from Island Biogeographic Theory (IBT) as a prospective explanatory framework. Sponges have long been considered “living hotels” due to the great diversity and abundance of...
