The insect's microbiota is well acknowledged as a “hidden” player influencing essential
insect traits. The gut microbiome of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) has been shown to …

Insects share an intimate relationship with their gut microflora and this symbiotic association
has developed into an essential evolutionary outcome intended for their survival through …

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 …

Ninety-four years have passed since the discovery of the Raman effect, and there are
currently more than 25 different types of Raman-based techniques. The past two decades …

While genome sequencing has expanded our knowledge of symbiosis, role assignment
within multi-species microbiomes remains challenging due to genomic redundancy and the …

The close association between bacteria and insect hosts has played an indispensable role
in insect diversity and ecology. Thus, continued characterization of such insect-associated …

Gut microbes play an important role in the biology and evolution of insects. Australian native
dung beetles (Scarabaeinae) present an opportunity to study gut microbiota in an …

The guts of insects harbor symbiotic bacterial communities. However, due to their
complexity, it is challenging to relate a specific symbiotic phylotype to its corresponding …

Larvae of the greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella) are an emerging animal model to study
the innate immune response and biodegradation of plastic polymers. Both of these complex …

Pelidnota luridipes Blanchard (1850) is a tropical beetle of the family Scarabaeidae, whose
larvae live on wood without parental care. Microbiota of mid-and hindgut of larvae was …
