Wolbachia are successful Gram-negative bacterial endosymbionts, globally infecting a large
fraction of arthropod species and filarial nematodes. Efficient vertical transmission, the …

Animal development is an inherently complex process that is regulated by highly conserved
genomic networks, and the resulting phenotype may remain plastic in response to …

The Darwin Tree of Life (DToL) project aims to sequence all described terrestrial and
aquatic eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland. Reference genome sequences are …

In macroautophagy, disk-shaped double-membrane structures called phagophores
elongate to form cup-shaped structures, becoming autophagosomes upon closure. These …

Wolbachia bacteria are common endosymbionts of many arthropods found in gonads and
various somatic tissues. They manipulate host reproduction to enhance their transmission …

Wolbachia is an obligate intracellular α-proteobacterium, which commonly infects
arthropods and filarial nematodes. Different strains of Wolbachia are capable of a wide …

Many insects contain endosymbiotic bacteria within their bodies. In multiple endosymbiotic
systems comprising two or more symbionts, each of the symbionts is generally localized in a …

Autophagy is a conserved catabolic process in eukaryotic cells that degrades intracellular
components in lysosomes, often in an organelle-specific selective manner (mitophagy …

Introduction The bacterial endosymbiont, Wolbachia spp. induce thelytokous
parthenogenesis in certain parasitoid wasps, such as the egg parasitoid wasps …

Introduction Endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria are widespread in nature, present in half of
all insect species. The success of Wolbachia is supported by a commensal lifestyle. Unlike …
