The nutritional dimension of facultative bacterial symbiosis in aphids: Current status and methodological considerations for future research

Aphids are valuable models for studying the functional diversity of bacterial symbiosis in insects. In addition to their ancestral obligate nutritional symbiont Buchnera aphidicola, these insects can host a myriad of so-called facultative symbionts. The diversity of these heritable bacterial associa...
