A new initiative has sprung out of the emerging field of functional microbial ecology: describing how microbes are both contributing to, and mitigating, the production of greenhouse gas; the field characterizes the microbial reactions to environmental change, allowing for the development of a microbiome-based approach to farming in a changing environment. 

When studying the microbiota-gut-brain axis and behaviour, both humans and rodent models come with their challenges. In this post we offer a few suggestions when planning your study.
