• Bacterial symbionts as mediators of ecologically important traits of insect hosts (2011, background): “Interestingly, Rickettsiella is often found in concert with Hamiltonella or Serratia, those aphids that confer protection against parasitoid wasps (Oliver et al., 2010; Tsuchida et al., 2010).”
• The gut microbiota of insects - diversity in structure and function. (2013, background): “These effects are commonly beneficial to the host, as in the case of H. defensa, which uses a bacteriophage-encoded mechanism to protect its host against parasitoid wasp larvae, thereby enabling its own survival and transmission (Oliver et al., 2010).”
• Defensive symbiosis: a microbial perspective (2014, background): “Microbes have high rates of evolutionary change, and horizontal transfer of adaptive genes or genomes is common (McCutcheon, McDonald & Moran 2009; Oliver et al. 2010; Werren et al. 2010; Smillie et al. 2011; Zhu et al. 2013).”
• Nine facultative endosymbionts in aphids. A review (2017, background): “Facultative symbionts are numerous and exhibit diverse effects on hosts through various functions that can be beneficial or detrimental to aphids (Oliver et al., 2010).”
• Bioactive alkaloids in vertically transmitted fungal endophytes (2014, background): “In aphid–bacterial interactions, the vertically transmitted Buchnera species is fixed in most populations and considered obligate, whereas there are many horizontally transmitted symbionts that exhibit variability in their presence (Oliver et al. 2010).”
• Breeding Insect Resistant Crops for Sustainable Agriculture (2017, background): “These include several species of gamma-proteobacteria such as Serratia symbiotica, Regiella insecticola and Hamiltonella defensa (Chen et al. 1996; Chen and Purcell 1997; Fukatsu et al. 2000, 2001; Darby et al. 2001; Sandstrom et al. 2001; Haynes et al. 2003; Russell et al. 2003; Moran et al. 2005;”
• Cascading extinctions as a hidden driver of insect decline (2020, background): “Some symbionts, however, while not required for the survival of their host been found to protect their hosts against natural enemies, for example, the bacterium Hamiltonella defensa (Moran, 2005), which protects aphids from parasitic wasps (Oliver et al., 2009).”
• Defensive symbiosis in the real world – advancing ecological studies of heritable, protective bacteria in aphids and beyond (2014, background): “defensa occurs in roughly 14% of aphid species (Oliver et al. 2010), only two other studies have unequivocally shown protection against parasitoids.”
• Defensive microbial symbionts in Hymenoptera (2014, background): “15 Interestingly, the toxin genes are located on a bacteriophage rather than in the Hamiltonella genome itself, and phage-free Hamiltonella clones fail to provide protection (Moran et al. 2005; Degnan & Moran 2008b; Oliver et al. 2009; Oliver et al. 2010).”
• Applying molecular-based approaches to classical biological control of weeds (2011, background): “Laboratory colonies, which are especially prone to the spread and fixation of endosymbionts (Floate et al., 2006; Oliver et al., 2010), can be cleansed of the bacteria through treatments with antibiotics or heat (e.”
• Evolutionary adaptation in three-way interactions between plants, microbes and arthropods (2013, background): “2011) that clearly illustrate enhancement of ecological opportunity by acquisition of endosymbionts, even though in nature such horizontal transfer events may be extremely rare (Oliver et al. 2010), especially for obligate endosymbionts.”
• Biology and ecology of the Flavescence dorée vector Scaphoideus titanus: a review (2014, positive): “…countering the host ’ s defenses, increasing protection against natural enemies, and improving development and reproduction (Wu et al. 2006; Oliver et al. 2010; Frago et al. 2012); however, they may also have adverse effects in some cases, such as lifespan shortening and fertility…”
