Host microbiomes play a critical role in host fitness and health. Whilst the current 'holobiont' concept framework has greatly expanded eco-evolutionary and functional understanding of host-microbiome interactions, the important role of biotic interactions and microbial loop (compositional linkage between soil, plant and animal) in shaping host-microbiome are poorly understood. We proposed an 'eco-holobiont' concept to fill the knowledge gap.

Eco-holobiont：一种新概念，可识别与宿主相关的微生物的驱动因素。

寄主微生物群在寄主健康和健康中起着至关重要的作用。尽管当前的“ holobiont”概念框架极大地扩展了对宿主-微生物组相互作用的生态进化和功能理解，但人们对生物相互作用和微生物环（土壤，植物和动物之间的组成联系）在塑造宿主-微生物组中的重要作用知之甚少。我们提出了“生态全息”的概念来填补知识空白。
