Science 2013, 341:667-669 This article presents evidence that bacterial communities in the guts of closely related species of the genus Nasonia form species-specific phylosymbiotic assemblages that cause lethality in interspecific hybrids. In particular, hybrid viability can be rescued by removing gut bacteria.

Cell 2013, 153:797-811 This very complete study shows that bacterial-derived uracil acts as a ligand for Dual oxidase-dependent production of ROS. Because the production of uracil by resident bacteria is limited, uracil concentration constitutes a 'signal' that guides the host to discriminate between pathogenic and resident bacteria.

Cell Host Microbe 2014, 15:58-71 This study highlights that gut homeostasis, notably the integrity of the peritophic membrane, depends on the presence of the microbiota that activates the immune and developmental STAT signaling pathway. As a consequence of altered peritrophic membrane, colonization by Borrelia bacteria is reduced in the tick.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2013, 110:11917-11922 This article highlights that rapid adaptation of insects to a new host plant can be linked to a modification of the composition of the microbiota. In the species under study, an enrichment in bacteria favoring tolerance to the anti-herbivory defenses of the plant was detected.
