Genomics and host specialization of honey bee and bumble bee gut symbionts
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Gut microbes are increasingly recognized as influential components of animal biology. Genomic, mechanistic, and evolutionary aspects of gut symbiont specialization remain understudied, however, largely due to the complexity of gut communities, especially in vertebrate systems. We show that the simple microbiota of eusocial bees exhibits host specificity and that coresident species in the bee gut possess complementary capabilities for energy metabolism, implying their occupancy in distinct ecological niches. In addition, coresidence in the gut of a host species results in horizontal exchange of genes between unrelated symbionts. Strains in different hosts have diverged, and honey bee symbionts are evolutionarily and functionally distinct from their bumble bee counterparts, indicating that gut symbionts may be critical elements in biological differences among bee species.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
