DESCRIPTION:We are increasingly coming to understand that the gut microbio
 ta has diverse and important effects on myriad host processes beyond diges
 tion. One area that has remained relatively understudied until recently\, 
 is the role gut bacteria has in mediating host behaviour. This is despite 
 research in the 70s that suggested there could be links between commensal 
 bacterial\, host odour\, and kin recognition. In this talk Zen will showca
 se recent studies in varied species of _Drosophila_\, that suggest a link 
 between gut bacteria and mating behaviour\, mediated by the action of the 
 gut on pheromones.
