Let $$M$$ denote the set of all functions which are analytic in the halfplane $$\text{Re }s>1$$ and which can be continued meromorphically to the whole $$s$$-plane. Then, using very classical analytic tools, the author proves that for any integer $$q \geq 2$$ and for an arbitrary polynomial $$P$$ in one variable both Dirichlet series $$\sum^\infty_{n=1} P(\{n^{1/q}\})n^{-s}$$ and $$\sum^\infty_{n=1} P(\{\log_q n\})n^{-s}$$ belong to $$M$$. For the special case $$P(x) = x$$ the location of the poles of the corresponding function is completely determined in both situations.
Another theorem says that, if $$q\geq 2$$ is an integer, there exists an infinite set of real irrational numbers $$\alpha$$ for which $$\sum^\infty_{n=1}\{\alpha q^n\}n^{-s}\in M$$. Again, for each such $$\alpha$$ the location of the poles of the corresponding function can be given explicitly. Of course, $$\{t\}$$ denotes the fractional part $$t-[t]$$ of a real number $$t$$.
