TL;DR: Data provide further evidence that a gut microbiota dominated by E. faecalis facilitate seed consumption by H. pensylvanicus, possibly by contributing digestive enzymes to their host.

TL;DR: The resulting data show that gut bacterial diversity of both cricket species is positively correlated with biodiversity according to habitat type, demonstrating that microbial diversity within insect gastrointestinal tracts, and possibly their functions within these insects, is tied to the biodiversity within the habitats where insects live.

TL;DR: The results indicate that remote sensing data can be used to assess the areas of poor growth and health of wheat plants due to Hessian fly infestation and suggests that remotely sensed data, including those from satellites orbiting >700 km from the surface of Earth, can offer valuable information on the occurrence and severity of pest infested areas.

TL;DR: Results provide evidence that gut symbionts influence diet selection of male and female G. pennsylvanicus differently, and may be because of the fact that male andFemale crickets have different nutritional requirements.
