Aims and Scopes

The journal 'Animal Microbiome' aims to advance the understanding of the complex interactions between animal hosts and their microbiomes, focusing on various species across different environments. The journal emphasizes innovative methodologies and interdisciplinary approaches to explore the implications of microbiomes on animal health, nutrition, and ecology.
  1. Microbiome-Host Interactions:
    Research focusing on the interactions between animal hosts and their microbiomes, examining how these relationships influence health, behavior, and adaptation.
  2. Nutritional Microbiology:
    Studies investigating the effects of diet on microbiome composition and functionality, including the impact of specific feed components and dietary interventions on animal performance.
  3. Microbiome Dynamics and Ecology:
    Exploration of the ecological roles of microbiomes in various animal hosts, including studies on spatial and temporal dynamics of microbial communities.
  4. Health and Disease Associations:
    Research linking microbiome profiles with health outcomes in animals, including the role of microbiomes in disease susceptibility, immune responses, and treatment efficacy.
  5. Technological Innovations:
    Utilization of advanced technologies such as metagenomics, metabolomics, and machine learning to analyze and interpret microbiome data.
  6. Conservation and Environmental Influences:
    Research examining how environmental factors, habitat changes, and anthropogenic influences affect animal microbiomes and their ecological implications.
The journal has seen a rise in interest in several emerging themes that reflect current trends in microbiome research. These themes encompass innovative methodologies, interdisciplinary approaches, and a focus on practical implications for animal health and management.
  1. Functional Metagenomics:
    An increasing trend towards functional metagenomic studies, focusing on understanding the roles and functions of microbiome members in health and disease, as well as their metabolic capacities.
  2. Microbiome and Immune Interactions:
    A growing interest in how microbiomes influence immune responses in animals, highlighting the interplay between gut health and overall immunity.
  3. Microbiome in Conservation Biology:
    Emerging research exploring the role of microbiomes in conservation efforts, including how microbiomes can inform population health and resilience in threatened species.
  4. Impact of Environmental Changes:
    Increased focus on how environmental factors, such as climate change and habitat alteration, affect microbiome composition and function in different animal species.
  5. Applications of AI in Microbiome Research:
    The integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques for analyzing microbiome data is on the rise, providing new insights into complex microbial interactions and predictions.

Declining or Waning

While the journal has consistently focused on various aspects of animal microbiomes, certain themes appear to be declining in prominence. These waning scopes may reflect shifts in research priorities or advancements in methodologies.
  1. Traditional Dietary Studies:
    Research solely focused on traditional dietary impacts without integrating microbiome analysis is becoming less common, as there is a growing emphasis on understanding the microbial interactions and their implications.
  2. Single-Species Microbiome Studies:
    There is a noticeable decline in studies examining microbiomes of single species in isolation, with a trend towards more integrative approaches that consider multi-species interactions and environmental contexts.
  3. Basic Taxonomic Surveys:
    The focus on basic taxonomic surveys of microbiomes is waning, as researchers are increasingly interested in functional and ecological implications rather than mere composition.
  4. Antibiotic Resistance in Isolation:
    Research examining antibiotic resistance in microbiomes without considering the broader ecological context or interactions within the microbiome is becoming less prevalent.
