Effect of post-harvest starvation and rinsing on the microbial numbers and the bacterial community composition of mealworm larvae (Tenebrio molitor) (2017, background): “Furthermore, Dillon & Dillon (2004) suggested that an insect that is constantly fed is likely to possess a different gut bacterial community as compared to a starved insect due to the food transit in the gut of the former.”
Gut bacteria of field-collected larvae of Spodoptera frugiperda undergo selection and are more diverse and active in metabolizing multiple insecticides than laboratory-selected resistant strains (2020, background): “2018), which can affect multiple aspects of the host biology (Dillon and Dillon 2004; Hansen and Moran 2014).”
The gut microbiota of insects - diversity in structure and function. (2013, background): “Our emphasis will be on work since 2004; earlier work is summarized in the study by Dillon & Dillon (2004).”
Defensive microbial symbionts in Hymenoptera (2014, background): “…long been hypothesized that an important function of the native gut microbiota of insects is to competitively inhibit pathogens from colonizing the gut (Berg 1996; Dillon & Dillon 2004), especially as the gut represents one of the most sensitive entry routes for pathogens (Siva-Jothy et al. 2005).”
Antibiotic-Producing Bacteria as a Possible Defence of Birds against Pathogenic Microorganisms (2010, background): “Barrier-benefits from symbiotic bacteria against pathogenic micro-organisms have mainly been studied for gut bacteria living in vertebrates [4], but also in insects [5], which indicates that barrier benefits for hosts are likely widespread in nature.”
Standardisation of quantitative resource conversion studies with black soldier fly larvae (2020, background): “…microbes rapidly adapt to changes in the insect diet through changes in population and the sensing of signalling compounds and degradation enzymes that facilitate digestion through absorption and metabolism of complex molecules (Dillon and Dillon, 2004; Engel and Moran, 2013a,b; Yun et al. , 2014).”
Necrobiome Framework for Bridging Decomposition Ecology of Autotrophically and Heterotrophically Derived Organic Matter (2018, background): “While given different names, these microbial communities have been reported in both living plants (Bulgarelli et al. 2013) and animals (Dillon and Dillon 2004).”
Insect Gut Bacterial Diversity Determined by Environmental Habitat, Diet, Developmental Stage, and Phylogeny of Host (2014, background): “The dynamic variation in insect gut microbiota can be determined by gut morphology and physicochemical conditions, such as pH and oxygen availability in the insect gut (44, 45).”
Complex patterns of global spread in invasive insects: eco-evolutionary and management consequences (2016, background): “Invasive insects, for example, bring with them a suite of obligate and facultative symbionts, including mutualists, parasites and commensals, some of which can have important effects on fitness (Dillon and Dillon 2004; Moran 2007).”
Bacterial Communities of Diverse Drosophila Species: Ecological Context of a Host–Microbe Model System (2011, background): “Bacterial gut symbionts are equally prevalent in other mammals [12] and in insects [13,14].”
Bacterially enriched diet improves sexual performance of sterile male Mediterranean fruit flies (2011, background): “In many cases, the relationship is mutualistic, and the bacteria contribute to the fitness of their insect host (Bourtzis and Miller 2003; Dillon and Dillon 2004; Baumann 2005).”
Implication of the Mosquito Midgut Microbiota in the Defense against Malaria Parasites (2009, background): “microorganisms [6], studies of insect gut microbiota have mainly concentrated on the contribution of microbial endosymbionts to the host’s nutritional homeostasis [5].”
