This project explores the evolutionary role of bacterial endosymbionts in plant-feeding insects, particularly aphids. It aims to understand how these bacteria influence host diversification and adaptation by analyzing genomic data and evolutionary patterns.
Plant-feeding insects represent a significant part of earth biodiversity but also encompass many plant pests that cause major losses to agricultural crops.
One key factor in their evolutionary success probably resides in the mutualistic associations they have established with bacteria that reside in their cells.
These endosymbionts metabolize some of the nutrients lacking in their host diet and can be essential for successfully shifting to new ecological niches.
However, intracellular lifestyle…
