Changes in abiotic factors, such as temperature, can affect the host fitness indirectly by modulating subspecies dynamics of key taxa, which are usually overlooked in microbiome research.

Abstract. Genetic redundancy, a hallmark of polygenic adaptation, implies that new trait optima can be reached by frequency changes of a subset of contribu
