Deep sequencing and ecological characterization of gut microbial communities of diverse bumble bee species.
Gut bacterial communities of bumble bees are correlated with defense against pathogens. Further understanding this host-microbe association is vitally important as bumble bees are currently experiencing global population declines, potentially due in part to emergent diseases. In this study, we used...
