The past years have revealed that inherited bacterial endosymbionts are important sources
of evolutionary novelty for their eukaryotic hosts. In this review we discuss a fundamental …

Palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic applications of fossil ostracods rely on a
uniformitarian approach underpinned by knowledge of the biology and ecology of living …

Insect Symbiosis summarizes the current knowledge of the relationship between symbiotic
organisms and their insect hosts and provides an unparalleled analysis of cutting-edge …

Wolbachia bacteria belong to the order Rickettsiales, within the alpha subdivision of the
Proteobacteria, and they are closely related to Ehrlichia and Anaplasma bacteria (O'Neill et …

The W olbachia are intracellular endosymbionts widely distributed among invertebrates.
These primarily vertically transmitted α‐proteobacteria have been intensively studied during …

La infección causada por Wolbachia es la más extendida entre los animales. La capacidad
de esta bacteria para manipular la reproducción de sus hospedadores la posicionan en el …

Wolbachia (Alphaproteobacteria) is an inherited endosymbiont of arthropods and filarial
nematodes and was reported to be widespread across insect taxa. While Wolbachia's effects …

The Ostracoda–ubiquitous aquatic micro-crustaceans–show an exceptionally high
incidence of female-biased adult sex ratio. Intraspecific sex ratio is known to vary in extant …

Biological systems with asexual reproduction have often attracted research on parasites and
host immune defence, because parasites are expected to be better able to exploit …

Endosymbiotic bacteria are extremely common and diverse in arthropods. Cardinium,
maternally transmitted intracellular bacteria, can contribute to the fitness of the host and can …
