Host dietary specialization and neutral assembly shape gut bacterial communities of wild dragonflies by Rittik Deb, Ashwin Nair, Deepa Agashe

“…To distinguish the role of host dietary specialization and host-imposed selection, we identified prey in the guts of three dragonfly species. Surprisingly, the dragonflies–considered to be generalist predators–consumed distinct prey; and the prey diversity was strongly correlated with the gut bacterial profile. …”
