This study identifies tailocins as a mechanism for intraspecies competition in bee gut symbionts, showing they inhibit susceptible strains and contribute to priority effects.

This study shows that colibactin from the honeybee symbiont Frischella perrara defends against pathogens and influences gut microbial community structure.

This study shows that colonization timing affects strain composition in honey bee gut microbiomes, with priority effects influencing competitive outcomes between bacterial strains.
