'Seventy-five percent of the references in NCBI/PubMed to the search word “symbiosis” (first present in 1913) have been published since 2006, as have 99% of the references to “microbiota” (first appearing in 1956). This new knowledge base will change subdisciplines of biology to varying degrees. Some areas, such as biomechanics, are likely to be little affected, but others, including immunology and developmental biology, evolutionary biology, and neurobiology, are already experiencing a reshaping as symbiosis is incorporated into their research frameworks.'
