Jess’s review on the use of non-model systems to study microbiome-behavior relationships was recently published in the Journal of Experimental Biology! In her paper, Jess describes the benefits of studying how the gut microbiome influences social behavior using a comparative approach, with a particular focus on how the gut microbiome can affect behavior in the context of development, reproduction, parental care, and cooperation and the novel mechanisms and environmental factors that may influence these microbiome-behavior relationships.
