Population dynamics of defensive symbionts in aphids.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Feb 2008

Oliver Kerry M, Campos Jaime, Moran Nancy A, Hunter Martha S

Abstract excerpt

Vertically transmitted micro-organisms can increase in frequency in host populations by providing net benefits to hosts. While laboratory studies have identified diverse beneficial effects conferred by inherited symbionts of insects, they have not explicitly examined the population dynamics of mutualist symbiont infection within populations. In the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, the inherited facultative...
