Abstract: Insects have remarkable abilities to colonize diverse ecological niches and exploit diets of variable quality, capacities that are increasingly attributed to functional contributions from their gut microbiota (Engel & Moran 2013). Insect gut microbiota has been shown to be environmentally responsive and has emerged as a vital factor in the growth, development, physiology, immunity, and evolution of host insects (Douglas 2025)
