This study examines the gut bacterial communities of four necrophagous fly species: Lucilia illustris, L. caesar, Chrysomya megacephala, and C. pinguis. The exhibited significant variation across species, showcasing a diverse range phyla, classes, genera. Each species harbored unique set bacteria, yet there was considerable overlap in taxa among species. Species richness comparable all However, measures that account for both evenness, such as Shannon diversity index inverse Simpson’s index, indicated differences between especially illustris functional profiles mainly centered on metabolic environmental information processing functions, with no marked While this had limitations data collection, it still revealed correlation phylogenetic distances some their communities. supports hypothesis microbiota is not random but influenced by host’s evolutionary history or seasons.

Future research would benefit replicating larger sample size various seasons to ensure more widespread applicability findings.
