Population genetics of beneficial heritable symbionts.

Trends in ecology & evolution - 1 Apr 2012

Jaenike John

Abstract excerpt

Most species of insects are infected with heritable, facultative symbionts. Such symbionts first appear within a host lineage as a result of lateral transfer from other host species. Although some facultative symbionts are reproductive parasites and thus adversely affect the transmission of host nuclear genes, there is growing evidence that many are beneficial to their hosts by, for example, conferring protection...
