Intraspecific genetic variation in hosts affects regulation of obligate heritable symbionts.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 15 Nov 2016

Abstract excerpt

Symbiotic relationships promote biological diversification by unlocking new ecological niches. Over evolutionary time, hosts and symbionts often enter intimate and permanent relationships, which must be maintained and regulated for both lineages to persist. Many insect species harbor obligate, heritable symbiotic bacteria that provision essential nutrients and enable hosts to exploit niches that would otherwise...
