The paper characterizes fungal and bacterial communities in the infrabuccal pockets of Formica polyctena ants using multiple methods, finding diverse fungal genera and stable bacterial communities.

The paper examines microbiome dynamics in honey bees during swarming preparation, finding no changes in absolute abundances but differential abundance in some taxa.

The paper uses multi-target amplicon sequencing to study interactions between Entomophthora fungi, their dipteran hosts, and associated bacteria in South Greenland, revealing host-specificity patterns and bacterial community differences.

This study uses a novel multi-target amplicon sequencing approach to analyze microbiota in wild scuttle flies, revealing significant variation in bacterial abundance and composition across host species and genotypes.

The paper examines microbial communities in two red flat bark beetles, finding host tree species significantly influence microbiome composition, while beetle species show less distinct clustering.

This study evaluates the impact of non-destructive DNA extraction using HotSHOT on microbiome reconstruction in insect specimens, finding it suitable for community composition but less reliable for abundance estimates.

The paper analyzes microbial communities in Greenland mosquitoes, finding low abundance and no core microbiota, with high diversity and sex-specific associations.

The paper introduces a high-throughput quantitative multi-target amplicon sequencing workflow to improve microbial community profiling in wild insects, addressing contamination and identification issues.

The paper surveys microbial symbionts in Macrosteles leafhoppers, finding limited variation in symbiont prevalence across populations and over time.
