TL;DR
This study explores the microbial communities of fruit flies and their environments in eastern USA orchards.
Contribution
The research identifies how microbiota composition varies with fly taxonomy, location, and environmental factors.
Findings
Microbiota composition varies significantly with fly taxonomy and sampling location.
Environmental factors like sampling substrate and starvation condition influence microbial communities.
Key variables affect the structure of microbiota in fruit flies and their surroundings.
Abstract
We present a 16S rRNA analysis of the microbiota of fruit flies and their fruit and soil environments collected across a latitudinal gradient in the eastern USA. Collections varied according to fly taxonomy, location, sampling substrate, and starvation condition. These samples reveal variation in microbiota composition with several key variables.
Genes, proteins, chemicals, diseases, species, mutations and cell lines named across the full text — each resolved to its canonical identifier and authoritative record.
