Diversity and ecology of bacteriocyte-associated symbionts in adelgids (Hemiptera: Adelgidae)
2012
unpublished
Symbioses between bacteria and insects are widespread in nature. Estimated ten percent of all insects harbour bacteriocyte-associated symbionts in their body cavity. These heritable symbionts provide essential nutrients, which are absent in the hosts' diet; therefore, they are often essential for their host insect. Adelgids (Insecta: Hemiptera: Adelgidae), members of a relatively small insect family (~ 65 described species), contain species that represent severe pests for the forest ecosystem.
