Correlation and causation between the microbiome, Wolbachia and host functional traits in natural populations of drosophilid flies
4 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
Resident microorganisms are known to influence the fitness and traits of animals under controlled laboratory conditions, but the relevance of these findings to wild animals is uncertain. This study investigated the host functional correlates of microbiota composition in a wild community of three sympatric species of mycophagous drosophilid flies, Drosophila falleni, Drosophila neotestacea and Drosophila putrida....
