Defensive symbiosis in the real world – advancing ecological studies of heritable, protective bacteria in aphids and beyond

2014-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Symbiotic microbes have become increasingly recognized to mediate interactions between natural enemies and their hosts. The ecologies of these symbioses, however, are poorly understood in many systems, and a predictive framework is needed to guide future studies. To achieve this, we focus on heritable, defensive microbes of insects. Our review of laboratory‐based studies identifies diverse bacterial species that h...
