Abstract:Seaweeds are colonized by a microbial community which can be directly
linked to their performance. This community is shaped by an interplay of
stochastic and deterministic processes, including mechanisms which the
holobiont host deploys to manipulate its associated microbiota. The Anna
Karenina Principle predicts that when a holobiont is exposed to
suboptimal or stressful conditions, these host mechanisms may be
compromised. This leads to a relative increase of stochastic processes
that may potentially result … Show more
