All animals and plants form associations with hundreds or thousands
of different beneficial microorganisms. These symbiotic microbes
play an important role in the development, adaptation, health and
evolution of their hosts. This book brings together a group of
diverse biologists to discuss microbial interactions with
multicellular life forms including insects, corals, plants, and
mammals, including humans. The various mechanisms by which
microorganisms benefit their hosts are discussed, including
providing essential nutrients, preventing disease, inducing the
immune system, and combating stress. Since the microbiota can be
transferred from parent to offspring, it plays an important role in
the origin and evolution of animal and plant species. This book
should be of interest to the widest range of biological scientists,
merging the studies of host and microbial physiology, symbiosis,
and the ecology and evolution of symbiotic partners.
