• The gut microbiota of insects - diversity in structure and function. (2013, background): “Feeding of a ‘probiotic’ diet enriched in Klebsiella oxytoca significantly increased the sexual competitiveness of c-irradiated males, enhanced their survival, and inhibited sexual receptivity of female flies (Gavriel et al., 2011).”
• Gut microbiome dysbiosis and honeybee health (2011, background): “The essential role of the native gut microbiome of insects is exemplified by the studies performed on the gut microbial symbionts of the Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly) Ceratitis capitata and their importance in the reproductive fitness of the host (BenAmi et al. 2010; Gavriel et al. 2011).”
