Chemical and behavioural strategies along the spectrum of host specificity in ant-associated silverfish
Abstract Background Host range is a fundamental trait to understand the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of symbionts. Increasing host specificity is expected to be accompanied with specialization in different symbiont traits. We tested this specificity-specialization association in a large grou...
