Microbial Metamorphosis: Symbiotic bacteria and fungi proliferate during diapause and may enhance overwintering survival in a solitary bee

2023-11-04

Abstract excerpt

Host-microbe interactions underlie the development and fitness of many macroorganisms including bees. While many social bees benefit from vertically transmitted gut bacteria, solitary bees, which comprise the vast majority of species diversity within bees, lack a specialized gut microbiome. Here we examine the composition and abundance of bacteria and fungi throughout the complete life cycle of a ground-nesting so...
