Different Roles of Environmental Selection, Dispersal, and Drift in the Assembly of Intestinal Microbial Communities of Freshwater Fish With and Without a Stomach

The composition of intestinal microbiota commonly varies among animal hosts and may affect host health. However, we have limited knowledge about the different relative roles of assembly processes, such as drift, dispersal and environmental selection, for the composition of gut microbiota.
