Abstract:Gut microbiota of the bumblebee is critical as it modulates the health and fitness of the host. However, the mechanisms underlying the formation and maintenance of the diversity of bumblebee gut bacteria over a long period of evolution have yet to be elucidated. In particular, the gut bacterial diversity and community assembly processes of

across the Chinese border remain unclear. In this study, we systematically carried out unprecedented sampling of 513 workers of t… Show more
