All insects are colonized by microorganisms on the insect exoskeleton, in the gut and
hemocoel, and within insect cells. The insect microbiota is generally different from …

Starting in 2006, surprisingly tiny genomes have been discovered from numerous bacterial
symbionts of insect hosts. Despite their size, each retains some genes that enable …

Phylogenetic relationships among subgroups of cockroaches and termites are still matters of
debate. Their divergence times and major phenotypic transitions during evolution are also …

Symbiogenesis is the result of the permanent coexistence of various bionts to form the
holobiont (namely, the host and its microbiota). The holobiome is the sum total of the …
