Marker gene analysis reveals microbiota variation in Drosophila and their environments, suggesting ecological interactions.
We present a marker gene analysis of the microbiota of Drosophila and their fruit and soil environments, collected across a latitudinal gradient in Utah, USA. Collections varied according to fly species, sex, and starvation condition, providing a snapshot of the covariation of these variables with microbiota composition in the wild.
