Supplementary file 1_Host genetics and environment shape the gut microbiome of Euschistus

Brazil and the United States are the geographic scope for 189 insect gut microbiome samples from two major soybean pest species. The dataset contains 16S rRNA V4 region sequences, with analysis showing microbiome composition dominated by Proteobacteria and Firmicutes. It was authored by Matheus Sartori Moro and last updated on 2026-05-05.

Use Cases

• Analyze the influence of host genetics on microbiome structure based on distinct lineages mentioned in the description.
• Compare environmental versus genetic drivers of microbial diversity based on variance analysis across collection locations.
• Investigate functional potential for nutrient acquisition and detoxification based on predicted functions like nitrogen fixation and aromatic compound degradation.
• Study species-specific microbial associations, such as Candidatus Benitsuchiphilus in P. guildinii, based on prevalence data.

Strengths

• Contains 189 sequenced insect gut microbiome samples.
• Analysis includes predicted functional profiles like chemoheterotrophy and nitrogen fixation.
• Data is available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The primary data file is a 2.7 MB DOCX, which may require extraction of underlying data.
