Every human has a unique collection of bacteria living in their gut, like a fingerprint.
Collectively, these bacteria are called the gut microbiome. The exact number and types of …

Nearly all eukaryotes are host to beneficial or benign bacteria in their gut lumen, either
vertically inherited, or acquired from the environment. While bacteria core to the honey bee …

Gut bacteria engage in various symbiotic interactions with their host and impact gut immunity
and homeostasis in different ways. In honey bees, the gut microbiota is composed of a …

There is growing recognition that the gut microbial community regulates a wide variety of
important functions in its animal hosts, including host health. However, the complex …

The honeybee possesses a limited number of bacterial phylotypes that play essential roles
in host metabolism, hormonal signaling, and feeding behavior. However, the contribution of …

Mammalian herbivores rely on microbial activities in an expanded gut chamber to convert
plant biomass into absorbable nutrients. Distinct from ruminants, small herbivores typically …

The symbiotic microbial community that many animals have floating freely in their gut is
critical to their health and well-being. But some insects, like cereal weevils, take this a step …

Many monophagous animals have coevolutionary relationships with bacteria that provide
unavailable nutrients to the host. Frequently, these microbial partners are vertically inherited …

The gut microbiome often serves as a critical component in the host's adaptation to a
changing environment (Suzuki and Ley, 2020). Gut microbiota can benefit host animals in …
