What did studies of nutritionally rich control diet find?

Studies of nutritionally rich control diet measured 2 outcomes; the most studied are microbial evenness (1 study) and microbial richness (1).

Microbial evenness

downin flies1

1 study

Nutritionally rich control diet decreases microbial evenness in flies (compared to nutritionally poor restricted diet).
“adult flies reared on a nutritionally rich control diet exhibited higher microbial richness but lower evenness compared to those on a nutritionally poor restricted diet.”

Young flies’ microbes did not predict lifespan or aging traits

An experiment in 88 genetic lines of male fruit flies found that diet and genetic background shaped the microbes they carried.An experiment in 88 genetic lines of male fruit flies found that diet and genetic background shaped the microbes they carried.
