Wolbachia is one of the most abundant endosymbionts on earth, with a wide distribution
especially in arthropods. Effective maternal transmission and the induction of various …

Mitochondrial genes are widely used in taxonomy and systematics because high mutation
rates lead to rapid sequence divergence and because such changes have long been …

Wolbachia are maternally inherited symbiotic bacteria, commonly found in arthropods, which
are able to manipulate the reproduction of their host in order to maximise their transmission …

Microorganisms that reside within or transmit through arthropod reproductive tissues have
profound impacts on host reproduction, health and evolution. In this Review, we discuss …
