Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 223–234 Abstract Endosymbiosis is a pervasive, powerful force
in arthropod evolution. In the recent literature, bacterial symbionts of insects have been …

Aquatic insects are the dominant invertebrate fauna in most freshwater ecosystems, and
figure prominently in the work of a diverse range of researchers, students, and …

The first step in understanding gut microbial ecology is determining the presence and
potential niche breadth of associated microbes. While the core gut bacteria of adult honey …

Endohyphal bacteria (EHB) can influence fungal phenotypes and shape the outcomes of
plant-fungal interactions. Previous work has suggested that EHB form facultative …

Symbiosis is receiving increased attention among all aspects of biology because of the
unifying themes it helps construct across ecological, evolutionary, developmental …

Research into freshwater fungi has generated a wealth of information over the past decades
with various published articles, ie, reviews, books, and monographs. With the advancement …

The outcome of species interactions often depends on the environmental conditions under
which they occur. In this study, we tested how different soil moisture conditions affected the …

The fitness effects of symbionts on their hosts can be context-dependent, with usually benign
symbionts causing detrimental effects when their hosts are stressed, or typically parasitic …

Described herein are methods for the alteration and/or transfer of fungal functional traits, eg,
phenotypic activity, via the controlled transfer of endohyphal symbionts, eg, bacteria, among …

Modern genomics has shed light on many entomopathogenic fungi and expanded our
knowledge widely; however, little is known about the genomic features of the insect …
