The natural occurrence of secondary bacterial symbionts in aphids
1. Many insects host secondary bacterial symbionts that are known to have wide‐ranging
effects on their hosts, from host‐plant use to resistance against natural enemies. This has …

Benefits and costs of hosting facultative symbionts in plant‐sucking insects: A meta‐analysis
Many animals have evolved associations with symbiotic microbes that benefit the host
through increased growth, lifespan, and survival. Some interactions are obligate (essential …

Nine facultative endosymbionts in aphids. A review
Aphids are frequently engaged in mutualistic associations with endosymbionts. Symbionts
are bacterial or fungal microorganisms that can be obligate or facultative to aphids …

Defensive symbiosis in the wild: Seasonal dynamics of parasitism risk and symbiont‐conferred resistance
E Gimmi, J Wallisch, C Vorburger - Molecular Ecology, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Parasite‐mediated selection can rapidly drive up resistance levels in host populations, but
fixation of resistance traits may be prevented by costs of resistance. Black bean aphids …
