Humidity determines penetrance of a latitudinal gradient in genetic selection on the microbiota by Drosophila melanogaster

C. Massey, M. E. Nosker, J. Gale, S. Scott, C. J. Walker, A. J. Cluff, S. Wilcox, A. Morrison, S. J. G. Morgan, J. Beltz, P. Schmidt, J. Chaston

This study shows that humidity influences the genetic selection on microbiota in Drosophila melanogaster, with variation in microbiota composition linked to latitude and environmental conditions.

The microbiota influences the Drosophila melanogaster life history strategy

A. W. Walters, M. K. Matthews, R. C. Hughes, J. Malcolm, S. Rudman, P. D. Newell, A. E. Douglas, P. S. Schmidt, J. Chaston

This study shows that microbiota in Drosophila melanogaster influences life history strategies, overriding host genetic adaptations in some cases.
