The phyllosphere is populated by numerous microorganisms. Microbes from the wider
environment, ie, air and soil, are considered key contributors to phyllosphere microbial …

Resistomes are ubiquitous in natural environments. Previous studies have shown that both
the plant phyllosphere and soil-borne nematodes were reservoirs of above-and below …

Applying organic fertilizers has been well documented to facilitate the dissemination of
antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in soil ecosystems. However, the role of soil fauna in this …

Microbes constitute the most prevalent life form on Earth, yet their remarkable diversity
remains mostly unrecognized. Microbial diversity in vertebrate models presents a significant …

Land use change and intensification though they contributed to increases in food
production, have remained one of the main threats to soil biodiversity due to their negative …

The effects of conservation tillage on soil biodiversity are crucial for maintaining the balance
and stability of agroecosystems, but research on soil animal-associated microbiota, an …

Earthworms are crucial regulators of many soil ecosystem processes; however, the effects of
fertilization regimes on earthworm gut microbiota remains poorly understood. Here, we …

The positive roles of earthworms on soil functionality has been extensively documented. The
capacity of the earthworm gut microbiota on decomposition and nutrient cycling under long …

Wolbachia is a widespread endosymbiont of insects and filarial nematodes that profoundly
influences host biology. Wolbachia has also been reported in rhizosphere hosts, where its …

Pelidnota luridipes Blanchard (1850) is a tropical beetle of the family Scarabaeidae, whose
larvae live on wood without parental care. Microbiota of mid-and hindgut of larvae was …
