Changes in Endosymbiont Complexity Drive Host-Level Compensatory Adaptations in Cicadas

ABSTRACT For insects that depend on one or more bacterial endosymbionts for survival, it is critical that these bacteria are faithfully transmitted between insect generations. Cicadas harbor two essential bacterial endosymbionts, “Candidatus Sulcia muelleri” and “Candidatus Hodgkinia cicadicola.” In...
