Drosophila melanogaster microbiome is shaped by strict filtering and neutrality along a latitudinal cline.

Abstract excerpt

Microbiomes affect many aspects of host biology, but the eco-evolutionary forces that shape their diversity in natural populations remain poorly understood. Geographical gradients, such as latitudinal clines, generate predictable patterns in biodiversity at macroecological scales, but whether these macroscale processes apply to host-microbiome interactions is an open question. To address this question, we sampled...
