The Hologenomic Basis of Speciation: Gut Bacteria Cause Hybrid Lethality in the Genus Nasonia
Abstract
Microbes → Host Speciation?: No living organism is an individual—an individual's microbiota can outnumber the host's somatic cells. Working in parasitoid wasps, Brucker and Bordenstein (p. 667 , published online 18 July) now suggest that the gut microbiota can play a crucial role in speciation and hybrid lethality. In a clade of parasitoid wasps, interspecies hybrids survived when reared on antibiotic-treated sterile food (thus eliminating gut microbiota), but experienced high mortality when reared on conventional diet or host material.

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.
