Explore the buzz surrounding the world of insect-microbiome interactions in our upcoming FEMS Microbiology Ecology Webinar. Discover the latest research showcasing how microbial communities influence the lives of various insects, from bees to bark beetles.
Our first study reviews beneficial fungi associated with bees, revealing their impact on bee behaviour, health, and ecosystem roles. The second paper examines the effects of glyphosate on bumblebee gut microbiota, highlighting potential risks to bee health and biodiversity. Lastly, we’ll investigate the dynamic changes in the gut microbiome of the European spruce bark beetle across different life stages and seasons.
Join us in this hive of activity aimed at microbiologists, students, and enthusiasts eager to understand more about the complex interactions between insects and their microbial partners.
Date: Thursday 16 May 2024
Time: 8:00 AM PST / 11:00 AM EST / 16:00 BST / 17:00 CEST / 00:00 JST
