Persistence of a Wolbachia infection frequency cline in Drosophila melanogaster and the possible role of reproductive dormancy
Field populations of arthropods are often polymorphic for Wolbachia but the factors
maintaining intermediate Wolbachia frequencies are generally not understood. In …

[HTML][HTML] Temperature effects on cellular host-microbe interactions explain continent-wide endosymbiont prevalence
Endosymbioses influence host physiology, reproduction, and fitness, but these relationships
require efficient microbe transmission between host generations to persist. Maternally …
