The paper investigates priority effects between fungi and nematodes in insect larvae, finding that fungi arrive first and exclude nematodes, with a bacterium mediating this exclusion.

This paper introduces a nested PCR approach to optimize rpoB metabarcoding for low-concentration and host-associated bacterial DNA, showing improved amplification efficiency without bias.

This study shows that changing rearing conditions rapidly alters the gut microbiota structure in Tenebrio molitor larvae, with soil from different sites leading to distinct microbial communities.
