The gut microbiome modulates many essential functions including metabolism, immunity, and behaviour. Specifically, within behaviour, social behaviours such as sociability, aggregation, mating preference, avoidance, oviposition, and aggression are known to be regulated in part by this host-microbiome relationship. Here, we show the microbiome's role in the determination of social spacing in a sex- and genotype-specific manner. Future work can be done on characterizing the microbiome in each of these fly strains to identify the species of microbes present as well as their abundance.
肠道微生物群调节许多基本功能，包括新陈代谢、免疫和行为。具体而言，在行为方面，社交行为如社交性、聚集、交配偏好、回避、产卵和攻击等，已知部分受这种宿主-微生物群关系的调节。在这里，我们展示了微生物群在以性别和基因型特异性方式确定社会间距中的作用。未来的工作可以致力于表征这些果蝇品系中每一个的微生物群，以确定存在的微生物种类及其丰度。
