Host Phylogeny and Diet Shape Gut Microbial Communities Within Bamboo-Feeding Insects

The gut microbiome plays an important role in a host’s development and adaption to its dietary niche. In this study, a group of bamboo-feeding insects are used to explore the potential role of the gut microbiota in the convergent adaptation to extreme diet specialization. Specifically, using a 16S r...
