Abstract
All organisms must allocate finite resources among growth, maintenance, and reproduction, generating trade-offs that constrain adaptation. Here, we argue that host microbiomes are dynamic resource engines capable of reallocating and generating energy and resources for their hosts. In doing so, they may recalibrate the tradeoffs fundamental to life history evolution.
