Community assembly process associated with sour rot microbial communities in grapes and Drosophila suzukii
Specimens of the spotted wing Drosophila (SWD) were collected from seven distinct sites within Gallow, California: Clarksburg, Walnut Grove, Woodbridge, Acampo, Clements, Victor, and Galt. Post-collection, the SWD samples were then sorted into male and female flies. This experimental design helps us to investigate the influence of geographic location, sex, and cultivar on the microbial community composition within the SWD and grapes.
