Bacteria in honeybee crops are decoupled from those in floral nectar and bee mouths

This study shows that bacteria in honeybee crops are distinct from those in nectar and mouths, challenging the assumption that crops are transient and environmentally influenced.

Realistic time-lags and litter dynamics alter predictions of plant-soil feedback across generations

The study shows that seasonal time lags and litter dynamics alter microbial community responses and plant coexistence predictions in plant-soil feedback experiments.

Higher Variability in Fungi Compared to Bacteria in the Foraging Honey Bee

The paper compares fungal and bacterial diversity in different gut regions of foraging honey bees, finding greater variability in fungi across gut regions and collection sites, suggesting they may be transient rather than functional symbionts.
