Harnessing evolution to elucidate the consequences of symbiosis.

PLoS biology - 1 Feb 2015

Gerardo Nicole M

Abstract excerpt

Many organisms harbor microbial associates that have profound impacts on host traits. The phenotypic effect of symbionts on their hosts may include changes in development, reproduction, longevity, and defense against natural enemies. Determining the consequences of associating with a microbial symbiont requires experimental comparison of hosts with and without symbionts. Then, determining the mechanism by which...
