Species are fundamental units of comparison in biology. The newly discovered
importance and ubiquity of host-associated microorganisms are now stimulating
work on the roles that microbes can play in animal speciation. We previously
synthesized the literature and advanced concepts of speciation by symbiosis with
notable attention to hybrid sterility and lethality. Here, we review recent
studies and relevant data on microbes as players in host behavior and behavioral
isolation, emphasizing the patterns seen in these analyses and highlighting areas
worthy of additional exploration. We conclude that the role of microbial
symbionts in behavior and speciation is gaining exciting traction and that the
holobiont and hologenome concepts afford an evolving intellectual framework to
promote research and intellectual exchange between disciplines such as behavior,
microbiology, genetics, symbiosis, and speciation. Given the increasing
centrality of microbiology in macroscopic life, microbial symbiosis is arguably
the most neglected aspect of animal and plant speciation, and studying it should
yield a better understanding of the origin of species.
