Description
Tetragonula carbonaria (Smith 1854) is a native Australian stingless bee, hosting a diverse range of bacterial symbionts. T. carbonaria is used as a model to explore how relationships between host insects and the microbiome occur and can be detected within a single species, shedding light on how host-microbiome associations arise and are maintained across the corbiculate bees. Host-microbiome relationships are considered through the lens of phylosymbiosis. Methods for detecting phylosymbiosis are explored; different bioinformatics and statistical techniques are compared, with implications for future studies. Bayesian modelling is used to predict possible routes of acquisition of bee symbionts.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
