The composition of the mammalian gut microbiota can be influenced by a multitude of environmental variables such as diet and infections. Studies investigating the effect of these variables on gut microbiota composition often sample across multiple se...

1. The ability, propensity and need to mount an immune response vary both among individuals and within a single individual over time.

2. A wide array of parameters have been found to influence immune state in carefully controlled experiments, but... Read More about Immune state is associated with natural dietary variation in wild mice Mus musculus domesticus.
