An out-of-body experience: the extracellular dimension for the transmission of mutualistic bacteria in insects
2015
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences
Across animals and plants, numerous metabolic and defensive adaptations are a direct consequence of symbiotic associations with beneficial microbes. Explaining how these partnerships are maintained through evolutionary time remains one of the central challenges within the field of symbiosis research. While genome erosion and co-cladogenesis with the host are well-established features of symbionts exhibiting intracellular localization and transmission, the ecological and evolutionary
