Symbiont community assembly shaped by insecticide exposure and feedback on insecticide resistance of Spodoptera frugiperda.

ABSTRACT: Exploring the mechanism of microbiota assembly and its ecological consequences is crucial for connecting microbiome variation to ecosystem function. However, the influencing factors underlying microbiota assembly in the host-microbe system and their impact on the host phenotype remain unclear. Through investigating the prevalent and worsening ecological phenomenon of insecticide resistance in global agriculture, we found that insecticide exposure significantly changed the gut microbiota assembly patterns of a major agricultural invasive insect pest, Spodoptera frugiperda. The relative importance of various microbiota assembly processes significantly varied with habitat heterogeneity and heterogeneous selection serving as a potential predictor of the host's insecticide resistance in field p
