摘要
Background The gut microbiome is a crucial element that facilitates a host’s adaptation to a changing environment. Host-specificity often coincides with distinctions in gut microbes, suggesting a co-evolution of the holobionts. However, it is unclear how gut microbiota shared by a common host ancestor would co-diversify with hosts and eventually become distinct among sister hosts. In this context, understanding the evolutionary pathway of gut microbiomes of the same host species could provide insight on how holobionts co-adapt along environmental gradients. Specifically, we ask which factor, nature or nurture, i.e., genetics or diets, contributes more to the shaping of gut microbiome, along with host diversification and range expansion.Results We compared and analyzed the gut microbiomes of 99 Asian honeybees, Apis cerana, from genetically diverged populations covering 13 provinces across China. Bacterial composition varied significantly across populations at phylotype, sequence-discrete population (SDP), and strain levels, but with extensive overlaps, indicating the diversity of microbial community among A. cerana populations is driven by nestedness. Taken together, genetics exhibited tangential impacts, while pollen diets were significantly correlated with both the composition and function of gut microbiome. Core bacteria, Gilliamella and Lactobacillus Firm-5, showed antagonistic turnovers and contributed to the enrichment in carbohydrate transport and metabolism. By feeding and inoculation bioassays, we confirmed that the variations in pollen polysaccharide composition contributed to the trade-off of these core bacteria.Conclusions Progressive change, i.e., nestedness, is the foundation of gut microbiome evolution in the Asian honeybee. Such a transition during the co-diversification of gut microbiomes is shaped primarily by environmental factors, diets in general, pollen polysaccharide in particular.### Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
