Abstract The Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus, native to Southeast Asia, has invaded a
wide range of tropical and temperate areas worldwide. Recent studies pointed out that
invasive populations from Europe harbored reduced bacterial microbiota compared to the
native populations. Beside bacteria, mosquitoes also contain fungal communities that have
so far been largely ignored. To investigate whether the mosquito invasion process displays
a similar impact on fungal diversity, we compared the mycobiota structure of three …
