Divergence in gut bacterial community between females and males in the wolf spider Pardosa astrigera
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Sex is one of the important factors affecting gut microbiota. As key predators in agroforestry ecosystem, many spider species show dramatically different activity habits and nutritional requirements between females and males. However, how sex affects gut
