The holobiont (host with its endocellular and extracellular microbiome) can function as a
distinct biological entity, an additional organismal level to the ones previously considered …

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 …

All insects are colonized by microorganisms on the insect exoskeleton, in the gut and
hemocoel, and within insect cells. The insect microbiota is generally different from …

Livestock grazing activities potentially alter ecosystem carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles in
grassland ecosystems. Despite the fact that numerous individual studies and a few meta …

Insects are the most abundant animals on Earth, and the microbiota within their guts play
important roles by engaging in beneficial and pathological interactions with these hosts. In …

Microbes that live inside insects play critical roles in host nutrition, physiology and behavior.
Although Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) are one of the most diverse insect taxa, their …

This study investigates the evolutionary history of a hyperdiverse clade, the ant subfamily M
yrmicinae (H ymenoptera: F ormicidae), based on analyses of a data matrix comprising 251 …

Drosophila melanogaster is emerging as an important model of non-pathogenic host–
microbe interactions. The genetic and experimental tractability of Drosophila has led to …

The present study aimed to evaluate the individual and combined effects of Lactobacillus
