Abstract Premise of the study: Flower morphology influences the wiring of plant-pollinator interaction networks. Flowers with deep corolla tubes and bilateral symmetry have a narrower pollinator range, hence are considered more specialized than shallow radial flowers.

Abstract The gut microbiota is intimately related to host wellbeing, in terms of physiology, immune function, and even social interactions. The strength of this relationship is dynamic, but the extent to which the microbiome is shaped by the identity of the host (nature) or its environment (nurture) remains largely unknown.
