The most widespread intracellular bacteria in the animal kingdom are maternally inherited
endosymbionts of the genus Wolbachia. Their prevalence in arthropods and nematodes …

▪ Abstract The α-proteobacterium Wolbachia pipientis is a very common cytoplasmic
symbiont of insects, crustaceans, mites, and filarial nematodes. To enhance its transmission …

Microplastics (MPs) are an emerging contaminant and are confirmed to be ubiquitous in the
environment. Adverse effects of MPs on aquatic organisms have been widely studied …

Aphids engage in symbiotic associations with a diverse assemblage of heritable bacteria. In
addition to their obligate nutrient-provisioning symbiont, Buchnera aphidicola, aphids may …

Employing the clear, student-friendly style that made previous editions so popular, Insect
Physiology and Biochemistry, Fourth Edition presents an engaging and authoritative guide …

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been a marker of choice for reconstructing historical
patterns of population demography, admixture, biogeography and speciation. However, it …

Background Inherited bacteria have come to be recognised as important components of
arthropod biology. In addition to mutualistic symbioses, a range of other inherited bacteria …

Wolbachia are a group of cytoplasmically inherited bacteria that cause reproduction
alterations in arthropods, including parthenogenesis, reproductive incompatibility …

Wolbachia are bacteria that live in the cells of various invertebrate species to which they
cause a wide range of effects on physiology and reproduction. We investigated the effect of …

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 …
