Matrotrophic viviparity constrains microbiome acquisition during gestation in a live‐bearing cockroach, Diploptera punctata
Abstract The vertical transmission of microbes from mother to offspring is critical to the survival, development, and health of animals. Invertebrate systems offer unique opportunities to conduct studies on microbiome‐development‐reproduction dynamics since reproductive modes ranging from oviparity...
