Assessing the host range of , an egg parasitoid of spotted lanternfly ( using Eastern U.S. non-target species.

The spotted lanternfly, (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae), an invasive planthopper discovered in Pennsylvania, U.S. in 2014, has spread to many surrounding states despite quarantines and control efforts, and further spread is anticipated.

Gut microbiome diversity influenced more by the Westernized dietary regime than the body mass index as assessed using effect size statistic.

Human gut microbiome dysbiosis has been associated with the onset of metabolic diseases and disorders. However, the critical factors leading to dysbiosis are poorly understood. In this study, we provide increasing evidence of the association of diet type and body mass index (BMI) and how they relatively influence the taxonomic structure of the gut microbiota with respect to the causation of gut microbiome dysbiosis.
