Abstract:
:Microbial communities have considerable impacts on animal health. However, only in recent years have the host factors impacting microbiome composition been explored. An increasing wealth of microbiome data in combination with decades of research on behavior, physiology, and development have resulted in the European honey bee (Apis mellifera) as a burgeoning model system for studying the influence of host behavior on the microbiota. Honey bees are eusocial insects which exhibit striking behavioral and physiological differences between castes and life stages. These include changes in social contact, environmental exposure, diet, and physiology: all factors which can affect microbial composition and function. The honey bee system offers an opportunity to tease apart the interactive effects of all these factors on microbiota composition, abundance, and diversity.
