Happy to announce this #preprint , the culmination of last 10 years. 🥳
We find that #antimicrobialpeptides are evolved to control specific #microbiome #bacteria. This example is a textbook case of host #immune #evolution being shaped by the microbiome 🦠which depends on host #ecology.
Thanks for comments! Bit of an experiment: we are posting pre-submit to get feedback 🙂.

Single innate immune effectors control ecological microbiome bacteria across evolutionary timescales
Antimicrobial peptides are host-encoded antibiotics that combat invading microbes and help shape the microbiome in plants and animals.bioRxiv
