Chemical control dominates management, but environmental and health concerns motivate microbiome-informed alternatives. However, limited information exists on the gut anatomy, physicochemical environment, and microbial composition of\n                    <jats:italic>D. abbreviatus.<\/jats:italic>\n                    In this study, we provide the first comprehensive characterization of the gut morphology, pH, and microbiota of adult\n                    <jats:italic>D. abbreviatus<\/jats:italic>\n                    in both females and males collected in Puerto Rico. Using dye-based gut tracing, we identified foregut, midgut, and hindgut or posterior gut compartments, and confirmed the presence of a muscular, sclerotized gizzard. Colorimetric analysis revealed a mildly acidic gut environment (approximately pH 4\u20135, based on qualitative ranges), consistent across sexes and regions. Shotgun metagenomic sequencing of dissected guts from males and females revealed microbial communities distinct from the leaf samples microbiota. While alpha and beta diversity did not differ significantly between sexes, co-occurrence analyses identified sex-specific correlation patterns among bacterial taxa. Notably,\n                    <jats:italic>Enterobacter cloacae<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Pantoea vagans<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Lactococcus lactis<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic>Pseudomonas monteilii<\/jats:italic>\n                    were repeatedly detected across individuals and generated metagenomic datasets, and some were localized to the hindgut, suggesting possible niche specialization. The presence of taxa, such as\n                    <jats:italic>Enterobacter cloacae<\/jats:italic>\n                    , previously reported as symbionts in other phytophagous insects further supports the hypothesis that certain bacteria may contribute to host digestion or adaptation. These findings establish a framework for understanding the gut environment and microbial community of\n                    <jats:italic>D. abbreviatus<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and highlight candidate taxa for future functional studies. More broadly, this work supports further research into the potential roles of gut microbiota in the ecology and management of this pest.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/finsc.2025.1676003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,28]],"date-time":"2025-10-28T14:31:29Z","timestamp":1761661889000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Gut microbial community structure of the adult citrus root weevil Diaprepes abbreviatus"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Imilce A.","family":"Rodriguez-Fernandez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tasha M.","family":"Santiago-Rodriguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paola G.","family":"Figueroa-Pratts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keislamar\u00ed","family":"Cintr\u00f3n-Berr\u00edos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nichole D.","family":"Rodriguez-Cornier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gary A.","family":"Toranzos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"883","DOI":"10.46429\/jaupr.v20i4.14359","article-title":"The Life History of \u201cDiaprepes abbreviatus\u201d at Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico","volume":"20","author":"Wolcott","year":"1936","journal-title":"J Agric Univ Puerto Rico"},{"key":"B2","unstructured":"POPULATION ECOLOGY Diaprepes abbreviatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae): Host Plant Associations\n          \n          \n            \n              Simpson\n              SE\n            \n            \n              Nigg\n              HN\n            \n            \n              Coile\n              NC\n            \n            \n              Adair\n              RA\n            \n          \n          \n          1996"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1653\/024.094.0448","article-title":"First report of damage by the sugarcane root weevil diaprepes abbreviatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) to Florida sugarcane","volume":"94","author":"Cherry","year":"2011","journal-title":"Florida Entomologist"},{"key":"B4","first-page":"1","article-title":"A Puerto Rican weevil new to the United States (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)","volume":"30","author":"Woodruff","year":"1964","journal-title":"Florida Department Agric"},{"key":"B5","first-page":"6","article-title":"Diaprepes quarantine details","volume-title":"Topics in Subtropics","author":"Godfrey","year":"2005"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.3733\/ucanr.8131","article-title":"Diaprepes root weevil.","author":"Grafton-Cardwell","year":"2004"},{"key":"B7","first-page":"S203","article-title":"Phytophthora disease of citrus associated with root weevils in Texas","volume":"91","author":"Skaria","year":"2001","journal-title":"Phytopathology"},{"key":"B8","unstructured":"Diaprepes Root Weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus (Linnaeus) (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae)\n          \n          \n            \n              Weissling\n              TJ\n            \n            \n              Pe\u00f1a\n              JE\n            \n            \n              Giblin-Davis\n              RM\n            \n            \n              Knapp\n              JL\n            \n            \n              Giblin-Davis\n              RM\n            \n          \n          \n          2022"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"85","DOI":"10.1094\/PDIS.2003.87.1.85","article-title":"Phytophthora - Diaprepes weevil complex: Phytophthora spp. relationship with citrus rootstocks","volume":"87","author":"Graham","year":"2003","journal-title":"Plant Dis"},{"key":"B10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.22004\/ag.econ.258766","article-title":"Past and current IPM strategies to combat the spread of diaprepes abbreviatus in florida citrus","volume":"1","author":"McCoy","year":"1994","journal-title":"J Gender Agric Food Secur"},{"key":"B11","article-title":"Monitoring diaprepes abbreviatus with tedders traps in southwest florida citrus1","volume":"110","author":"Stansly","year":"1997","journal-title":"Proc Fla.
