Effects of Periodic Short-Term Heat Stress on Biological Characteristics and Gut Bacteria of <i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i> by Jingjing Jia, Min Liang, Zhitao Zhao, Weikang Huang, Qing Feng, Zhufeng Lin, Xuncong Ji

“…Under 43 °C heat stress, although female and male adults exhibited an increase in specific bacterial species within their gut bacteria, Alpha diversity analysis revealed no significant differences in the diversity (Shannon index) and richness (Chao index) of gut bacterial communities between sexes under temperature treatments. PICRUSt2 functional prediction indicated that metabolic pathways, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, and microbial metabolism in diverse environments constituted the dominant functions of gut bacteria in both sexes, while heat stress exerted minimal effects on the functional profiles of gut bacteria in <i>S. frugiperda</i>. …”
