Geographic differentiation of the gut microbiota in Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae): associations with environmental gradients and predicted functional potential

Abstract The rice water weevil, Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus (Kuschel), is a major invasive pest native to rice that has expanded far beyond its native North American range to establish widespread populations across Asia and Europe. However, how altitudinal gradients shape this microbial ecosystem remains unclear. We perf...
