Variation in honey bee gut microbial diversity affected by ontogenetic stage, age and geographic location [PDF]
, 2015 Social honey bees, Apis mellifera, host a set of distinct microbiota, which is similar across the continents and various honey bee species. Some of these bacteria, such as lactobacilli, have been linked to immunity and defence against pathogens. Pathogen

A novel technique for identifying the instar of field-collected insect larvae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Many field studies of insects have focused on the adult stage alone, likely because immature stages are unknown in most insect species. Molecular species identification (e.g., DNA barcoding) has helped ascertain the immature stages of many insects, but ...

Analyzing muscle structure and function throughout the larval instars in live Drosophila [PDF]
STAR Protocols, 2021 Drosophila larval musculature is a genetically and optically accessible system to study muscle development. Each larval muscle is a single fiber with conserved cytoarchitecture, including its sarcomere structure and composition. Here, we present a workflow for systematically analyzing muscle structure and function at discrete larval stages, as well as ...
