The ecology of the Drosophila-yeast mutualism in wineries

Characterization of the spatial and temporal dynamics of Drosophila-associated fungi in Northern California wineries that use spontaneous fermentation using high-throughput, short-amplicon sequencing of the universal fungal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. We found that there is nonrandom structure in the fungal communities that are vectored by flies both between and within wineries.
