Marked variations in diversity and functions of gut microbiota between wild and domestic stag beetle Dorcus Hopei Hopei
Abstract Background Although stag beetles are a popular saprophytic insect, their gut microbiome has been poorly studied. Here, 16 S rRNA gene sequencing was employed to reveal the gut microbiota composition and functional variations between wild and domestic Dorcus hopei hopei (Dhh) larval individu...
