Ecological Drivers of Microbiota Diversity in the Pharmacophagous Turnip Sawfly

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2026.
We show that both nutritional (host‐plant diet, starvation) and non‐nutritional (pharmacophagy) plant use independently shape microbiota diversity, composition and predicted function in Athalia rosae. Pharmacophagy via clerodanoid uptake altered microbial communities and enriched metabolic pathways linked to plant compound degradation. Wild individuals
