  "summary": "Intraspecific variation in microbial symbioses is shaped by a variety of ecological and evolutionary processes. In geographically separated populations, divergence in genomic traits is expected due to dispersal barriers and habitat differentiation, whereas sympatric populations might exhibit functional convergence to the characteristics of a shared environment. While these two processes have been…",
