For example, presence of a microorganism in the genital tract besides infection can also be found in instances of colonization creating difficulty in clarifying the exact pathogenetic role in instances of infection.

Haiti is a prime example of colonization gone wrong.
"This breakthrough is a significant first step in the Industrial Evolution and can play an important role in, for instance, the colonization of Mars," reads the press release for the "Robot Baby" project.
Selection on immune genes can be particularly strong when hosts encounter novel parasites, for instance, after the colonization of a new habitat or upon the exploitation of vacant ecological niches in an adaptive radiation.
Succession may also play a role, as seen for instance in the colonization of dental plaque: The same site can be occupied by 'early' or 'late' communities that emerge following a disturbance (Human Microbiome Project Consortium, 2012; Teles et al., 2012).
For instance, colonization of the gastrointestinal tract by E. coli Nissle 1917 [55] is used to treat some inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease [56], [57].

-What were the benefits and drawbacks of colonization in this area for the colonizers?
"Most Americans think of colonization as obvious, Of course you'd go and colonize in America.
If they were ancient and predated the ancestor of the two archaeal lineages, did they play a role in their early diversification by, for instance, allowing the colonization of new environments?
