Bacterial diversity in gut compartments of Tomicus brevipilosus: from shoot-boring preconditioning of Pinus yunnanensis to trunk-boring reproduction

Gut bacteria are critically important to bark beetles, especially under environmental fluctuations. Tomicus brevipilosus undergoes a niche shift from shoot-boring (which weakens Pinus yunnanensis ) to trunk-boring for reproduction. The relationship between this transition and the gut microbiota remains to be...

Assessment of Culex quinquefasciatus microbiota and the impact of Lysinibacillus sphaericus larvicide exposure on susceptible and resistant strains.

Bacterial symbionts play crucial roles in mosquito development and other features. Increasing evidence suggests that exposure to insecticides can modulate mosquito-associated microbiota, with potential implications for vector control strategies. The goal of this study was to compare the bacterial communities of Culex q...

Intestinal Responses to Short-Term Hexaflumuron Exposure in Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella): A Combined Physiological, Transcriptomic, and Gut Microbiota Perspective

Hexaflumuron is a benzoylurea insecticide with potential application against arthropod ectoparasites in aquaculture, but its toxicity to non-target fish remains insufficiently characterized. This study evaluated acute toxicity and intestinal responses to sublethal concentrations of hexaflumuron in juvenile grass carp (...

Gut Microbiome Diversity, Functional Potential, and Ecological Relevance of Hottentotta tamulus

ABSTRACT Scorpions are ancient arachnids of medical and ecological importance; they prey on insects and other arthropods while serving as prey to birds and reptiles. In this study, we reported for the first time on the characterization of the gut intestinal microbiome of Hottentotta tamulus native to northeastern Pakis...
