The gut microbiota of insects–diversity in structure and function
Insect guts present distinctive environments for microbial colonization, and bacteria in the
gut potentially provide many beneficial services to their hosts. Insects display a wide range …

Mosquitoes host communities of bacteria that are essential for development but vary greatly between local habitats
Mosquitoes are insects of interest because several species vector disease‐causing
pathogens to humans and other vertebrates. We previously reported that mosquitoes from …

Evolutionary and ecological consequences of gut microbial communities
Animals are distinguished by having guts—organs that must extract nutrients from food yet
also bar invasion by pathogens. Most guts are colonized by nonpathogenic microorganisms …

Comparative gut microbiota of 59 neotropical bird species
The gut microbiota of vertebrates are essential to host health. Most non-model vertebrates,
however, lack even a basic description of natural gut microbiota biodiversity. Here, we …

The evolution and ecology of interactions between ants and honeydew-producing hemipteran insects
The interactions between ants and certain sap-feeding insects in the order Hemiptera are
classic examples of food-for-protection mutualisms. In these associations, herbivorous …
