Pervasive effects of <i>Wolbachia</i> on host activity

2021-02-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Heritable symbionts have diverse effects on the physiology, reproduction, and fitness of their hosts. Maternally transmitted Wolbachia are one of the most common endosymbionts in nature, infecting about half of all insect species. We test the hypothesis that Wolbachia alter host behavior by assessing the effects of 14 different Wolbachia strains on the locomotor activity of nine Drosophila h...
