Correlates of gut community composition across an ant species (Cephalotes varians) elucidate causes and consequences of symbiotic variability.

Molecular ecology - 1 Mar 2014

Hu Yi, Łukasik Piotr, Moreau Corrie S, Russell Jacob A

Abstract excerpt

Insect guts are often colonized by multispecies microbial communities that play integral roles in nutrition, digestion and defence. Community composition can differ across host species with increasing dietary and genetic divergence, yet gut microbiota can also vary between conspecific hosts and across an individual's lifespan. Through exploration of such intraspecific variation and its correlates, molecular...
