In their #JEB100 Commentary, @sammiefontaine & @KevinDKohl discuss how #microbiomes can influence the #thermaltolerance of #ectotherms, although questions remain regarding the role that microbes play in the thermal ecology & evolution of their hosts

Schematic diagram of a potential feedback loop between warming temperatures, microbial diversity and host heat tolerance. (1) Exposure to warming environments decreases host-associated microbial diversity in a variety of ectotherms. (2) Animals with disrupted microbiomes are often less tolerant to heat than those with undisrupted communities. (3) Animals that are less heat tolerant will be more vulnerable to increasing temperatures as climate change accelerates. These warming environments may further deplete microbial community diversity, beginning the cycle again. Created with Biorender.com.
