Beetles are hosts to a remarkable diversity of bacterial symbionts. In this article, we review
the role of these partnerships in promoting beetle fitness following a surge of recent studies …

The human gut microbiome interacts with each other and the host, which has significant
effects on health and disease development. Intestinal homeostasis and inflammation are …

Many insects engage in stable nutritional symbioses with bacteria that supplement limiting
essential nutrients to their host. While several plant sap-feeding Hemipteran lineages are …

Most insects harbour influential, yet non‐essential heritable microbes in their hemocoel.
Communities of these symbionts exhibit low diversity. But their frequent multi‐species nature …

The Repeat-Induced Point (RIP) mutation pathway is a fungus-specific genome defense
mechanism that mitigates the deleterious consequences of repeated genomic regions and …

The environment in which postharvest crops are processed and stored is a dynamic
ecosystem influenced not only by environmental factors such as temperature and humidity …

Insect–fungus mutualism is one of the better‐studied symbiotic interactions in nature.
Ambrosia fungi are an ecological assemblage of unrelated fungi that are cultivated by …

Insects and microbes are known to interact in a variety of ways at food facilities,
compounding damage. However, little research has explicated how specific common fungal …

Understanding the ability of internal‐and external‐infesting stored product insects to vector
microbes is important for estimating the relative risk that insects pose to postharvest …

Insect-microbial symbiosis contributes positively to the physiology of the insect and diet is
considered as one important factor determining microbial symbiosis. In this study, we have …
