Abstract Determining the factors affecting structure of insect herbivore communities is a major challenge in ecology. Previous research demonstrated that plant defenses determine plant‐herbivore associations. However, non‐defensive variables may also explain why some species are associated with more diverse assemblages than others. Neotropical rolled‐leaf beetles ( Cephaloleia and Chelobasis ) complete their life cycle inside young rolled leaves host plants order Zingiberales. The diet...
The host microbiome plays an essential role in health and disease. Microbiome modification by pathogens or probiotics has been poorly explored especially the case of probiotic yeasts. Next-generation sequencing currently provides best tools for their characterization. Debaryomyces hansenii 97 ( D. 97) Yarrowia lipolytica 242 Y. 242) are yeasts that protect wildtype zebrafish Danio rerio ) larvae against a Vibrio anguillarum V. infection, increasing survival rate. We investigate effect these...
