First Insight into Microbiome Profiles of Myrmecophilous Beetles and Their Host, Red Wood Ant <i>Formica polyctena</i> (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)—A Case Study

<i>Formica polyctena</i> belongs to the red wood ant species group. Its nests provide a stable, food rich, and temperature and humidity controlled environment, utilized by a wide range of species, called myrmecophiles. Here, we used the high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene on...
