Insects are associated with multiple microbes that have been reported to influence various
aspects of their biology. Most studies in insects, including pest species, focus on the …

Oak declines are multifactorial processes in which bark and wood boring (BWB) beetles can
act as major inciting factors, killing the weakened trees. Nonetheless, the current knowledge …

Background Woodlice are recognized as keystone species in terrestrial ecosystems due to
their role in the decomposition of organic matter. Thus, they contribute to lignocellulose …

The study of insect-associated microbial communities is a field of great importance in
agriculture, principally because of the role insects play as pests. In addition, there is a recent …

Microalgae are photosynthetic organisms that can synthesize biomass as a potential source
of bioenergy. The hydrolysis of a microalgal cell wall is the main issue in biofuel production …

Simple Summary Termites represent a unique and highly efficient system for lignocellulose
bioconversion. The highly efficient lignocellulolytic systems are achieved through …

Bacterial communities are fundamental symbionts of corals. However, the process by which
bacterial communities are acquired across the life history of corals, particularly in larval and …

Monochamus saltuarius (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is an important native pest in the pine
forests of northeast China and a dispersing vector of an invasive species Bursaphelenchus …

Background Gut symbiotic microbiota plays a critical role in nutrient supply, digestion, and
absorption. The bamboo snout beetle, Cyrtotrachelus buqueti, a common pest of several …

Many insects feed on a low‐nitrogen diet, and the origin of their nitrogen supply is poorly
understood. It has been hypothesized that some insects rely on nitrogen‐fixing bacteria …
