Association of Host and Microbial Species Diversity across Spatial Scales in Desert Rodent Communities

Description: Article describes study in which researchers employed a natural gradient of rodent species richness and quantified bacterial communities in rodent blood at several hierarchical spatial scales to test the hypothesis that associations between host and microbial species diversity will be positive in communities dominated by organisms with broad niches sampled at large scales.
