Fig. 1From: Stabilization and optimization of host-microbe-environment interactions as a potential reason for the behavior of natal philopatryDiagrammatic representation of how host-microbe interactions may influence reproductive success of philopatric or dispersing individuals. Individuals that exhibit philopatry maintain optimal GenomeHost x GenomeMicrobial x Environment interactions. Conversely, individuals that disperse experience incompatibility in GenomeHost x GenomeMicrobial x Environment interactions, and suffer fitness consequencesBack to article page
