Symbiosis between organisms is an important driving force in evolution. Among the diverse
relationships described, extensive progress has been made in insect–bacteria symbiosis …

Insects are often involved in endosymbiosis, that is, the housing of symbiotic microbes within
their tissues or within their cells. Endosymbionts are a major driving force in insects' …

Symbiotic associations between animals and microbes are ubiquitous in nature, with an
estimated 15% of all insect species harboring intracellular bacterial symbionts. Most …

We here present annotated lists of names of Candidatus taxa of prokaryotes with ranks
between subspecies and class, proposed between the mid-1990s, when the provisional …

The processes and mechanisms underlying the diversification of host–microbe
endosymbiotic associations are of evolutionary interest. Here we investigated the …

ABSTRACT Roughly 10% to 15% of insect species host heritable symbiotic bacteria known
as endosymbionts. The lice parasitizing mammals rely on endosymbionts to provide …

Arsenophonus is a widespread insect symbiont with life strategies that vary from parasitism
to obligate mutualism. In insects living exclusively on vertebrate blood, mutualistic …

A dynamic continuum exists from free-living environmental microbes to strict host-associated
symbionts that are vertically inherited. However, knowledge of the forces that drive …

Hemipteran insects are well-known in their ability to establish symbiotic relationships with
bacteria. Among them, heteropteran insects present an array of symbiotic systems, ranging …

Symbiosis between insects and bacteria result in a variety of arrangements, genomic
modifications, and metabolic interconnections. Here, we present genomic, phylogenetic, and …
