House Fly Microbiomes from Laboratory and Field Samples in Texas

Data analysis methods for house fly microbiome data. The data were collected from two genotypes (YM and IIIM) raised at two temperatures (18C and 29C) in the laboratory. Samples were also collected from Bastrop and Washington Counties in Texas, authored by Richard Meisel and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare microbiome composition based on the two distinct fly genotypes (YM and IIIM) mentioned in the description.
• Analyze the effect of temperature variation (18C vs 29C) on microbial communities in a controlled laboratory setting.
• Investigate differences between laboratory-raised and field-collected samples from Bastrop and Washington Counties in Texas.

Strengths

• Includes data from a controlled laboratory experiment with two distinct genotypes and two temperature conditions.
• Combines laboratory samples with field samples from two specific geographic locations (Bastrop and Washington Counties, Texas).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
