Fungal communities in Florida salt marsh mosquito midguts vary between species and over time but have low structure

These findings suggest that there is limited structure to mosquito associated fungal communities, implying that their assembly may be more driven by stochastic than deterministic processes. Our findings highlight the influence of key variables on mosquito fungal diversity and help facilitate understanding of how and when mosquitoes acquire fungi and the roles that fungi play in mosquito biology.

Abstract

These findings suggest that there is limited structure to mosquito associated fungal communities, implying that their assembly may be more driven by stochastic than deterministic processes. Our findings highlight the influence of key variables on mosquito fungal diversity and help facilitate understanding of how and when mosquitoes acquire fungi and the roles that fungi play in mosquito biology.
