A new heritable bacterial association can bring a fresh set of molecular capabilities, providing an insect host with an almost instantaneous genome extension. Increasingly acknowledged as agents of rapid evolution, inherited microbes remain underappreciated players in pest management programs. A Ric

Endosymbiotic candidates for parasitoid defense in exotic and native new zealand weevils.

White JA1, Richards NK, Laugraud A, Saeed A, Curry MM, McNeill MR.
Microbial ecology.Microb Ecol.2015 Jul;70(1):274-86. doi: 10.1007/s00248-014-0561-8. Epub 2015 Jan 23.
Some insects are infected with maternally inherited bacterial endosymbionts that protect them against pathogens or parasitoids. The weevil Sitona obsoletus (=Sitona lepidus) is invasive in New Zealand, and suspected to contain such defensive symbionts, because it is particularly resistant to a Moroc
