Journal ArticleDOI
Geographical Distribution and Diversity of Bacteria Associated with Natural Populations of Drosophila melanogaster
Vanessa Corby-Harris,Ana Clara Pontaroli,Lawrence J. Shimkets,Jeffrey L. Bennetzen,Kristin E. Habel,Daniel E. L. Promislow +5 more
TL;DR: Overall, bacterial communities associated with adult D. melanogaster hosts are diverse and differ across host populations, and no relationship was observed between species richness and a variety of abiotic factors, such as temperature and latitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Bacterial Communities Associated with Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Foragers
TL;DR: The crop microbial environment is influenced by worker task, and may function in both decontamination and inoculation, concluding that the crop taxa at low abundance include core hindgut bacteria in transit to their primary niche, and potential pathogens or food spoilage organisms seemingly vectored from the pollination environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial Ecology of the Hive and Pollination Landscape: Bacterial Associates from Floral Nectar, the Alimentary Tract and Stored Food of Honey Bees (Apis mellifera)
Kirk E. Anderson,Kirk E. Anderson,Timothy H. Sheehan,Timothy H. Sheehan,Brendon M. Mott,Brendon M. Mott,Patrick Maes,Patrick Maes,Lucy A. Snyder,Melissa R. Schwan,Alexander Walton,Alexander Walton,Beryl M. Jones,Beryl M. Jones,Vanessa Corby-Harris +14 more
TL;DR: The results reveal that many bacteria prevalent in beebread and the crop are also found in floral nectar, suggesting frequent horizontal transmission, and do not support the core crop bacterial community hypothesized by recent studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of Akt Signaling Reduces the Prevalence and Intensity of Malaria Parasite Infection and Lifespan in Anopheles stephensi Mosquitoes
Vanessa Corby-Harris,Anna L. Drexler,Laurel Watkins de Jong,Yevgeniya Antonova,Nazzy Pakpour,Rolf Ziegler,Frank B. Ramberg,Edwin E. Lewis,Jessica Brown,Shirley Luckhart,Michael A. Riehle +10 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that increased Akt signaling in the mosquito midgut disrupts parasite development and concurrently reduces the duration that mosquitoes are infective to humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hive-stored pollen of honey bees: many lines of evidence are consistent with pollen preservation, not nutrient conversion.
Kirk E. Anderson,Kirk E. Anderson,Mark J. Carroll,Mark J. Carroll,Tim Sheehan,Brendon M. Mott,Patrick Maes,Vanessa Corby-Harris +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that stored pollen is not evolved for microbially mediated nutrient conversion, but is a preservative environment due primarily to added honey, nectar, bee secretions and properties of pollen itself.
