Diet-dependent microbiota and diet-independent immunometabolic responses to probiotic supplementation in broiler chickens

Lauren E Anderson, Anne L. Ballou, Natalie B. Roberts…·Matthew D. Koci

This study shows that probiotic effects on microbiota depend on diet, but host immunometabolic responses are diet-independent.

Trophic level associated gut length divergence evolved under sexual conflict in Lake Malawi cichlids

Aldo Carmona Baez, Patrick J. Ciccotto, Emily C. Moore…·Reade B. Roberts

This study identifies genetic factors underlying gut length variation in Lake Malawi cichlids, showing sex-specific quantitative trait loci and epistatic interactions linked to trophic level differences and sexual conflict.
