TL;DR: The authors' results show that some core members of the unique honey bee gut bacterial community are represented in different relative abundances in bees performing different behavioural tasks, and suggest an influence of task-related local environment exposure and diet on the honey bees gut microbial community.

TL;DR: A software package for rarefaction analysis of large count matrices, as well as estimation and visualization of diversity, richness and evenness, designed for ease of use and operating at least 7x faster than existing solutions, despite requiring 10x less memory.

TL;DR: The authors' data point toward an intricate relationship between these caspases and the composition of the murine gut microflora, particularly the Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes phyla, when comparing Casp-1, -7 and -3 knockout mice with wild-type mice.

TL;DR: C cohousing experiments revealed that the colitogenic activity of the WT microbiota is transferable to Casp3/11−/− mice and that Prevotella species are likely to be involved and underscore the need for in-depth studies of the bilateral interaction of host genes and microbiota to gain insight into the mechanisms of disease pathogenesis.

TL;DR: The global principles of pangenome evolution are explored, the influence of habitat, and phylogenetic inertia on the evolution of pangsenomes are quantified, and criteria governing species ubiquity and habitat specificity are identified.
