Direct and indirect effects of land use on microbiomes of trap-nesting solitary bee larvae and nests by Birte Peters, Birte Peters, Birte Peters, Sara Diana Leonhardt, Michael Schloter, Alexander Keller

“…However, the drivers and dynamics of healthy microbiome in solitary bees are still poorly understood, especially regarding the direct and indirect effects of land use on the diversity and composition of these microbial communities.MethodsWe examined bacterial communities in the offspring and nest materials of the Megachilid trap-nesting solitary bee, Osmia bicornis, along a gradient of land use intensification by 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding. Given that landscape composition, climatic conditions, and food resources are known to influence microbial compositions in solitary bee species, we hypothesized that land use changes would alter resources available for food and nest material collection and thereby affecting the microbiomes in offspring and their nest environments. …”
