Symbionts in waiting: the dynamics of incipient endosymbiont complementation and replacement in minimal bacterial communities of psyllids
Background Obligate bacterial primary (P-) endosymbionts that are maternally inherited and
codiverge with hosts are widespread across insect lineages with nutritionally restricted diets …

Independent cytoplasmic incompatibility induced by Cardinium and Wolbachia maintains endosymbiont coinfections in haplodiploid thrips populations
Cardinium and Wolbachia are common maternally inherited reproductive parasites that can
coinfect arthropods, yet interactions between both bacterial endosymbionts are rarely …

Codivergence of the primary bacterial endosymbiont of psyllids versus host switches and replacement of their secondary bacterial endosymbionts
Coevolution between insects and bacterial endosymbionts contributes to the success of
many insect lineages. For the first time, we tested for phylogenetic codivergence across …

Transmission mode predicts coinfection patterns of insect‐specific viruses in field populations of the Queensland fruit fly
Insect‐specific viruses (ISVs) can affect insect health and fitness, but can also interact with
other insect‐associated microorganisms. Despite this, ISVs are often studied in isolation …
