Developmental microbiome of the small carpenter bee, Ceratina calcarata

Abstract: The importance of the holobiont has been studied across many bee species, but less is known about the changes in the microbiome throughout the course of development, particularly in subsocial bees. This study used 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing of pollen provisions and individuals of the small carpenter bee, Ceratina calcarata, across stages of development to characterize the composition and diversity of bacteria and fungi in the microbiome. Pollen provisions and larval stages showed similar beta diversi… Show more

“…On the contrary, the two fungal genera found in high abundance in more rural areas, Ascosphaera and Taphrina, are facultative bee and plant pathogens, respectively, (Cissé et al, 2013;Wynns et al, 2013). However, these genera were also previously seen in immature C. calcarata and it is unclear if they pose any threat to this species (Nguyen and Rehan, 2022). Ascosphaera was also overrepresented at high and very high development levels (Supplementary Table S4; Figure 4B), suggesting this fungi may not be limited to rural areas.…”

“…Apilactobacillus are common beneficial bee symbionts (Tlais et al, 2022) and were established as part of the core microbiome in C. calcarata in New Hampshire, a more rural landscape (McFrederick and Rehan, 2016;Graystock et al, 2017). In urban cities such as Toronto, Apilactobacillus was previously largely absent in adult C. calcarata (Nguyen and Rehan, 2022) and was found to be underrepresented at sites with moderate levels of land use development, overrepresented in sites with the most green space, and overrepresented at sites with lower annual temperatures in this study (Supplementary Table S4). Thus, urban bees reveal a different microbiome from those in rural contexts and of particular concern is the varying abundance of Apilactobacillus.…”
