  abstract = {{D}rosophila species serve as key models for microbiota research due to their relatively simple microbial communities. {H}owever, microbial diversity and dynamics in {N}eotropical {A}ndean {D}rosophila remain underexplored. {H}ere we applied shotgun metagenomics to characterize the microbiota of 24 {N}eotropical {D}rosophila species from {E}cuador, reconstructing 64 high-quality bacterial genomes predominantly from {A}cetobacteraceae and {E}nterobacterales. {M}icrobial communities were consistently dominated by yeasts, lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid bacteria, and {W}olbachia. {C}omparative analyses revealed no strong correlation between host phylogeny and microbial community composition, suggesting environmental factors and microbial interactions shape these communities. {N}otably, shifts in relative abundances indicate dynamic ecological succession and metabolic cooperation among microbes. {T}hese findings expand genomic resources for {D}rosophila-associated bacteria and highlight the complex ecological processes influencing host-microbiota relationships in natural populations.},
