Alteration of gut microbiota with rifampicin does not impair maternal care in the European earwig [NEW RESULTS]: The microbes residing within the gut of an animal host often maximise their own fitness by modifying their host's physiological, reproductive, and behavioural functions. Whereas recent studies suggest that they may also shape host sociality and therefore have critical effects on animal social evolution, the impact of the gut microbiota on maternal care remains unexplored. This is surprising,...
