The phagotrophic origin of eukaryotes and phylogenetic classification of Protozoa. (2002, background): “This exceptional case where bacteria apparently harbour endosymbionts involves β-proteobacteria that are themselves obligate endosymbionts of mealy bugs and contain γ-proteobacteria within their inflated cytosol (von Dohlen et al., 2001).”
A subfamily‐level classification of mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) based on integrated molecular and morphological data (2008, background): “Many mealybugs are unusual in having g-Proteobacteria secondary endosymbionts residing within primary b-Proteobacteria endosymbionts (von Dohlen et al., 2001) (most insect endosymbionts are g-subdivision).”
Early evolution of the Eukaryota (2015, background): “…and L opez-Garc ıa 1998), parasitic invasion of the host archaebacterium (Margulis 1981; Davidov and Jurkevitch 2009) or the poorly understood mechanism by which modern c-Proteobacteria live symbiotically within b-Proteobacteria, within the bacteriosomes of mealybugs (von Dohlen et al. 2001).”
Phylogenetic analysis of mealybugs (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Pseudococcidae) based on DNA sequences from three nuclear genes, and a review of the higher classification (2004, background): “…been shown that these mucous spherules are the primary endosymbionts (P-endosymbionts), which all belong to the b-subdivision of the Proteobacteria, and that they house the secondary endosymbionts (S-endosymbionts), which belong to the g-Proteobacteria (von Dohlen et al., 2001; Thao et al., 2002).”
On the origins of cells: a hypothesis for the evolutionary transitions from abiotic geochemistry to chemoautotrophic prokaryotes, and from prokaryotes to nucleated cells. (2003, background): “In the meantime, a clear example has become known where one prokaryote lives stably as an endosymbiont within another (von Dohlen et al. 2001).”
Biology bacteriocyte-associated endosymbionts of plant sap-sucking insects. (2005, background): “Remarkably, Tremblaya may contain within its cells an Sendosymbiont that also has a gram-negative cell wall (143) (Figure 8).”
DNA markers to disentangle complexes of cryptic taxa in mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) (2011, background): “A few molecular studies have also focused on particular aspects of mealybug biology, such as the co-evolution of these insects with symbionts (von Dohlen et al. 2001; Baumann 2005; Baumann and Baumann 2005) and epigenetic mechanisms (Nur and Brett 1988; Bongiorni et al. 1999, 2004, 2007; Field et…”
