their hosts.•Herbivore symbionts alter parasitoid foraging through changes in plant and host …

Symbioses are significant drivers of insect evolutionary ecology. Despite recent findings that
these associations can emerge from environmentally derived bacterial precursors, there is …

The interaction between insects and plants is a classic case of coevolution. During the arms
race that has continued for 400 million years, the mutualistic (such as pollination and …

Aphids, the important global agricultural pests, harbor abundant resources of symbionts that
can improve the host adaptability to environmental conditions, also control the interactions …

Simple Summary Host-associated gut bacteria influence the eco-physiological functions of
their hosts, for example, how they interact with natural enemies in their ecosystems, and …

Introduction Symbiotic bacteria play key roles in a variety of important life processes of
insects such as development, reproduction and environmental adaptation, and the …

Parasitoids often exhibit high flexibility in their development depending on stages of their
host at the parasitism, yet little is known about the mechanism underlying such flexibility. In …

Despite the importance of parasitoid wasps as biological control agents and the vast
literature available on different aspects of their natural history and ecology, it is only recently …

Background Aphids often harbor bacterial symbionts that confer resistance to biotic and
abiotic stress. Previous studies have primarily examined the direct effects of symbiont …
