Gut micriobiota are involved in adaptation of the invasive tephritid species Bactrocera dorsalis to temperature and diet stressors
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)
