The paper investigates how group size in stingless bees influences the presence of gut symbionts, finding that larger colonies are more likely to harbor specific bacteria.

The paper examines gut microbiomes in solitary bees and wasps, finding they have sparse and variable bacterial communities compared to social bees.

The paper compares gut bacterial communities of honey wasps and non-honey feeding wasps, finding honey wasps have distinct, host-restricted bacterial communities acquired via host-switching.
