Neotropical bee microbiomes point to a fragmented social core and strong species-level effects [PDF]
Microbiome, 2023 Background Individuals that band together create new ecological opportunities for microorganisms. In vertical transmission, theory predicts a conserved microbiota within lineages, especially social bees. Bees exhibit solitary to social behavior among and/

Influence of social lifestyles on host–microbe symbioses in the bees [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Microbiomes are increasingly recognised as critical for the health of an organism. In eusocial insect societies, frequent social interactions allow for high‐fidelity transmission of microbes across generations, leading to closer host–microbe coevolution.
