Abstract
Symbiosis the intimate association between two different organisms has shaped the evolution and ecology of life on Earth. Among the most profound examples are the relationships between prokaryotic microbiomes and their eukaryotic hosts. These associations range from mutualistic partnerships that enhance host fitness to parasitic interactions that manipulate host biology. Understanding the biogeography of these symbioses how they are distributed across space and ecosystems offers insights into evolutionary innovation, ecological resilience, and biodiversity patterns.
