Co-evolution in context: The importance of studying gut
microbiomes in wild animals

Because the gut microbiota contributes to host nutrition, health and
behavior, and gut microbial community composition differs according
to host phylogeny, co-evolution is believed to have been an important
mechanism in the formation of the host-gut microbe relationship. However,
current research is not ideal for examining this theme. Most studies of
the gut microbiota are performed in controlled settings, but gut microbial
community composition is strongly influenced by environmental factors.
To truly explore the co-evolution of host and microbe, it is necessary to
have data describing host-microbe dynamics in natural environments with
variation in factors such as climate, food availability, disease prevalence,
and host behavior. In this review, I use current knowledge of host-gut
microbe dynamics to explore the potential interactions between host
and microbe in natural habitats. These interactions include the influence
of host habitat on gut microbial community composition as well as the
impacts of the gut microbiota on host fitness in a given habitat. Based on
what we currently know, the potential connections between host habitat,
the gut microbiota, and host fitness are great. Studies of wild animals will
be an essential next step to test these connections and to advance our
understanding of host-gut microbe co-evolution.
