Symbiont interactions with non-native hosts limit the formation of new symbioses.

BMC evolutionary biology - 12 Mar 2018

Niepoth Natalie, Ellers Jacintha, Henry Lee M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Facultative symbionts are common in eukaryotes and can provide their hosts with significant fitness benefits. Despite the advantage of carrying these microbes, they are typically only found in a fraction of the individuals within a population and are often non-randomly distributed among host populations. It is currently unclear why facultative symbionts are only found in certain host individuals and...
