Environment and diet shape the geography-specific Drosophila melanogaster microbiota composition

Joseph T. Gale, Rebecca Kreutz, Sarah J. Gottfredson Morgan, Emma K. Davis, Connor Hough, Wendy A. Cisneros Cancino, Brittany Burnside, Ryan P. Barney, Reese Hunsaker, Ashton Tanner Hoyt, Aubrey Cluff, Maggie Nosker, Chandler Sefcik, Eliza Beales, Jack K. Beltz, , John M. Chaston

This study shows that environmental factors like temperature and diet shape the microbiota composition of wild Drosophila melanogaster, linking microbiota variation to host phenotypic differentiation.
