Resource competition drives an invasion-replacement event among shrew species on an island

S. S. Browett, R. Synnott, D. O'Meara, R. E. Antwis, S. S. Browett, K. Bown, O. Wangensteen, D. A. Dawson, J. B. Searle, J. M. Yearsley, A. McDevitt

This study shows that an invasive shrew alters its diet in a new environment, increasing dietary overlap with a native species and leading to its decline.

The genetic diversity of honeybee colonies predicts the gut bacterial diversity of individual colony members

C. Bridson, L. R. Vellaniparambil, R. E. Antwis, W. Müller, R. T. Gilman, J. K. Rowntree

The study shows that honeybee colony genetic diversity predicts individual gut bacterial diversity, but individual genetics do not influence gut microbiota diversity.

Primer biases in the molecular assessment of diet in multiple insectivorous mammals

S. S. Browett, T. G. Curran, D. B. O'Meara, A. P. Harrington, N. G. Sales, R. E. Antwis, D. O'Neill, A. McDevitt

This study compares the effectiveness of two primer sets in DNA metabarcoding to assess diets of insectivorous mammals, finding that a single broad-range primer set can accurately capture ground-dwelling species' diets.

Exposure to Airborne Bacteria Depends upon Vertical Stratification and Vegetation Complexity

J. M. Robinson, C. Cando Dumancela, R. E. Antwis, R. Cameron, C. Liddicoat, R. Poudel, P. Weinstein, M. F. Breed

This study investigates aerobiome vertical stratification and diversity in different green spaces, finding that habitat type and vegetation complexity influence bacterial diversity and exposure potential.

Host-associated fungal communities are determined by host phylogeny and exhibit widespread associations with the bacterial microbiome

X. A. Harrison, A. McDevitt, J. C. Dunn, S. Griffiths, C. Benvenuto, R. Birtles, J. P. Boubli, K. Bown, C. Bridson, D. Brooks, S. S. Browett, R. F. Carden, J. Chantrey, F. Clever, I. Coscia, , R. E. Antwis

The paper shows fungal communities in hosts are shaped by host phylogeny and interact with bacterial microbiomes across 49 species.

Impacts of radiation on the bacterial and fungal microbiome of small mammals in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone

R. E. Antwis, N. Beresford, J. Jackson, R. Fawkes, C. Barnett, E. Potter, L. Walker, S. Gaschak, M. Wood

The paper examines how radiation affects the gut and fecal microbiomes of small mammals in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, finding species-specific responses and differences between gut and fecal samples.
