Effects of diet on the gut bacterial community of Aldrichina grahami (Diptera: Calliphoridae) across developmental stages

To investigate the gut bacterial community of A. grahami and explore its stability in different diets and developmental stages, high-throughput sequencing of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd instar larvae and newly emerged adults reared on bovine liver, swine manure, and chicken manure. In our results, the alpha diversity of the gut bacterial community did not significantly vary among developmental stages or diets.
