The hologenome concept of evolution after 10 years
E Rosenberg, I Zilber-Rosenberg - Microbiome, 2018 - Springer
The holobiont (host with its endocellular and extracellular microbiome) can function as a
distinct biological entity, an additional organismal level to the ones previously considered …

Not all animals need a microbiome
It is often taken for granted that all animals host and depend upon a microbiome, yet this has
only been shown for a small proportion of species. We propose that animals span a …

Caterpillars lack a resident gut microbiome
Many animals are inhabited by microbial symbionts that influence their hosts' development,
physiology, ecological interactions, and evolutionary diversification. However, firm evidence …

Bacterial symbionts in Lepidoptera: their diversity, transmission, and impact on the host
The insect's microbiota is well acknowledged as a “hidden” player influencing essential
insect traits. The gut microbiome of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) has been shown to …

Biodiversity and Activity of the Gut Microbiota across the Life History of the Insect Herbivore Spodoptera littoralis
B Chen, BS Teh, C Sun, S Hu, X Lu, W Boland… - Scientific reports, 2016 - nature.com
Microbes that live inside insects play critical roles in host nutrition, physiology and behavior.
Although Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) are one of the most diverse insect taxa, their …

Foliar-feeding insects acquire microbiomes from the soil rather than the host plant
Microbiomes of soils and plants are linked, but how this affects microbiomes of aboveground
herbivorous insects is unknown. We first generated plant-conditioned soils in field plots, then …

Cooking up the perfect insect: Aristotle's transformational idea about the complete metamorphosis of insects
S Reynolds - … Transactions of the Royal Society B, 2019 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Aristotle made important contributions to the study of developmental biology, including the
complete metamorphosis of insects. One concept in particular, that of the perfect or complete …

Impact of intraspecific variation in insect microbiomes on host phenotype and evolution
Microbes can be an important source of phenotypic plasticity in insects. Insect physiology,
behaviour, and ecology are influenced by individual variation in the microbial communities …

The hologenome concept: helpful or hollow?
With the increasing appreciation for the crucial roles that microbial symbionts play in the
development and fitness of plant and animal hosts, there has been a recent push to interpret …

Links between metamorphosis and symbiosis in holometabolous insects
Many animals depend on microbial symbionts to provide nutrition, defence or other services.
Holometabolous insects, as well as other animals that undergo metamorphosis, face unique …
