Fitness trade-offs and the origins of endosymbiosis.

PLoS biology - 1 Apr 2024

Brockhurst Michael A, Cameron Duncan D, Beckerman Andrew P

Abstract excerpt

Endosymbiosis drives evolutionary innovation and underpins the function of diverse ecosystems. The mechanistic origins of symbioses, however, remain unclear, in part because early evolutionary events are obscured by subsequent evolution and genetic drift. This Essay highlights how experimental studies of facultative, host-switched, and synthetic symbioses are revealing the important role of fitness trade-offs...
