In our @isme-microbes.bsky.social Journal Paper “Functional Team Selection” with Nancy Johnson, we compare up to 6 holobiont definitions. Aside of that, I wonder if in 2026 people is as skeptic of holobionts as they were 10 or 15 years ago.

In the only place in the world where you can see wild Japanese Macaques—affectionately known as "snow monkeys"—soaking in natural hot springs, this study asked what how bathing behavior may influence #holobiont composition. Dip in!

Irresistible read! “In this work, we argue that life can be understood as a hierarchical system of information handling, where reductionist and holistic perspectives are not mutually exclusive but rather complementary for understanding biological complexity.” #holobiont

What is the holobiont? In classical crop science, improvement and management have traditionally focused on the plant genome and its direct interaction with the abiotic environment. However, the scientific evidence…

The premier global business-to-business news platform for the professional greenhouse and indoor farming industry has a feature article on the #holobiont. While not always an evolutionary unit, they do get a lot else right in the article. www.hortidaily.com/article/9800...

We often look at roots or AMF in isolation. But the real magic happens in the tripartite holobiont:
1️⃣The plant (host)
2️⃣AMF (nutrient highway)
3️⃣Microbes (support crew)
When these 3 talk to each other, ecosystem function skyrockets
#Holobiont @spun.earth

From corals to canines, we are all multispecies. We are holobionts.

The concept, once undervalued, is in the process of fully shifting from scientific culture to educational culture. #holobiont #hologenome

We are moving far beyond the notion of the visible "biological individual" to recognize that a #holobiont is a reality of nature - a structural and functional unit of life. Proper definitions are the bedrock of better science and an informed public.
