The Epidemiology and Evolution of Symbionts with Mixed-Mode Transmission (2013, background): “Exclusively VT symbionts are rare, possibly limited to obligate mutualistic bacteria of some invertebrate taxa (Moran et al. 2008, Bright & Bulgheresi 2010).”
The natural occurrence of secondary bacterial symbionts in aphids (2016, background): “Symbiotic bacteria in plants and animals can have diverse ecological and evolutionary effects on their hosts (Moran et al., 2008; Berendsen et al., 2012).”
The human gut microbiome: ecology and recent evolutionary changes. (2011, background): “coli appears to resemble that of facultative symbionts of insects, which are often erratically distributed and resemble invasive pathogens in that they spread through various host lineages (60).”
Resurrecting the ghost of green revolutions past: The brown planthopper as a recurring threat to high-yielding rice production in tropical Asia (2012, background): “In other species of insects, the bacterial endosymbionts may function as obligate nutritional mutualists, facultative mutualists that protect against natural enemies or stress, and reproductive manipulators that enhance productivity of infected female lines (Moran et al., 2008).”
Environmental and ecological factors that shape the gut bacterial communities of fish: a meta‐analysis (2012, background): “Many of these symbiotic (i.e. intimately host-associated) microbes form specific and occasionally obligate interactions with hosts including macroalgae (Lachnit et al. 2010), insects (Moran et al. 2008) and primates (Yildirim et al. 2010).”
Bacterial symbionts as mediators of ecologically important traits of insect hosts (2011, background): “comparison with primary endosymbionts (Dobson et al., 1999; Moran et al., 2008).”
Computational meta'omics for microbial community studies (2013, background): “Conversely, intracellular microbial symbionts can exhibit dramatically, and often unusually, reduced genomes owing to close integration with their hosts (Moran et al , 2008).”
The unity, diversity and conformity of bugs (Hemiptera) through time (2016, background): “A variety of facultative endosymbiotic associations with diverse bacteria and yeasts can be found in all lineages of the Sternor- rhyncha, (Moran et al. 2008; Bennett & Moran 2015).”
Plants, mycorrhizal fungi, and bacteria: a network of interactions. (2009, background): “Organelle evolution, genome reduction, fast rates of evolution, and transfer of genetic information among host lineages are some of the main problems addressed in studies of endobacteria in insects (69).”
Mom Knows Best: The Universality of Maternal Microbial Transmission (2013, background): “Maternal provisioning of microbes to developing offspring is widespread in animals, with evidence of internal microbial transmission in animal phyla as diverse as Porifera [41–45] (Box 1), Mollusca [46–49] (Box 1), Arthropoda [50–52] (Box 2, Figure 2), and Chordata [19,53,54] (Box 3, Figure 2).”
Extreme genome reduction in symbiotic bacteria (2011, background): “However, eliminated genes fall into every functional category; for example, DNA repair and recombination genes are typically depleted in genomes of host-restricted symbionts and pathogens, but each case of genome reduction retains a distinct set of repair gene”
