TL;DR
This study examines the gut and environmental microbes of fruit flies collected from Utah orchards, showing how factors like fly species and environment influence microbial communities.
Contribution
The study provides new insights into how fly species, sex, and environmental factors shape microbiota composition in wild Drosophila populations.
Findings
Microbiota composition varies with fly species, sex, and starvation status.
Environmental factors such as fruit and soil influence microbial communities.
Collections across a latitudinal gradient reveal patterns of microbiota covariation.
Abstract
We present a marker gene analysis of the microbiota of Drosophila and their fruit and soil environments, collected across a latitudinal gradient in Utah, USA. Collections varied according to fly species, sex, and starvation condition, providing a snapshot of the covariation of these variables with microbiota composition in the wild.
