Symbiont interactions with non-native hosts limit the formation of new symbioses
Abstract Background Facultative symbionts are common in eukaryotes and can provide their hosts with significant fitness benefits. Despite the advantage of carrying these microbes, they are typically only found in a fraction of the individuals within a population and are often non-randomly distribute...
