Kilmer’s article studying the gut microbiota of hybrid honey bees is out now!

Check out Kilmer’s cool new article in Microbiology Spectrum highlighting how host phylogeny, hybridization, and honey bee ecology have shaped the gut microbiota of the Africanized honey bee, which is a hybrid derived from a cross between European and African honeybees.

Are you my mother? When host genetics and gut microbiota tell different phylogenetic stories in the Africanized honey bee hybrid (Apis mellifera scutellata × sspp.)

Bravo to all involved!
