We studied specific yeast communities vectored by beetles, drosophilids, and bees that visit
ephemeral flowers, mostly in the genus Hibiscus and in the families Convolvulaceae and …

The Mantel test provides a means to test the association between distance matrices and has
been widely used in ecological and evolutionary studies. Recently, another permutation test …

The scarab beetle tribe Cyclocephalini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae) is the
second larg-est tribe of rhinoceros beetles, with nearly 500 described species. This diverse …

Though we are learning more about the diversity, dynamics, and importance of phyllosphere
microbiota, we have only modest knowledge about the microorganisms that specifically …

The genesis of this review occurred at the 23rd International Special Symposium on Yeasts.
The meeting was excellent, but, as I listened to the presentations, I was taken by the …

The succession of yeasts colonizing the fallen ripe amapa fruit, from Parahancornia amapa,
was examined. The occupation of the substrate depended on both the competitive …

Yeast communities associated with sugarcane leaves, stems and rhizosphere during
different phases of plant development were studied near Campos, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil …

Insect-associated microbes exhibit a wide range of interactions with their hosts. One
example of such interactions is the insect-driven dispersal of microorganisms, which plays …

Flowers offer favourable microenvironments for yeast growth, and are increasingly
recognised as a rich source of novel yeast species. Independent surveys of yeasts …

Yeasts are ubiquitous microorganisms that form part of the microbiota of most if not all
natural ecosystems. A wide variety of yeast species occur in soil, fresh water and marine …
