Facultative endosymbionts mediate dietary breadth in a polyphagous herbivore (2015, background): “Insects are often infected by maternally-inherited symbionts that confer ecologically relevant traits to their host (Feldhaar 2011; White 2011; Oliver & Martinez 2014).”
Insect immune priming: ecology and experimental evidences (2016, background): “Recent studies have revealed that they may also provide benefits to their hosts © 2016 The Royal Entomological Society, Ecological Entomology, 41, 351–366 (Brownlie & Johnson, 2009; Feldhaar, 2011; Weiss & Aksoy, 2011; Thaiss et al., 2014).”
The microbiome of pest insects: it is not just bacteria (2019, background): “…as bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa, viruses, may be associated with their insect host permanently or transiently, and such associations may be beneficial or harmful to the insects’ fitness (Kaufman et al., 2000; Feldhaar, 2011; Hammer et al., 2017) (see Figure 1 for beneficial interactions).”
Effects of climate warming on host–parasitoid interactions (2013, background): “As endosymbionts have been linked to resistance to parasitism there are potentially important implications for host–parasitoid dynamics (Feldhaar, 2011).”
The natural occurrence of secondary bacterial symbionts in aphids (2016, background): “This can also enhance aphid invasiveness or host-switching abilities, and thus aphid dispersal at a local and regional level (Feldhaar, 2011).”
Evolutionary adaptation in three-way interactions between plants, microbes and arthropods (2013, background): “Hence, they become part of the heritable genetic variation of their hosts, sometimes referred to as the holosymbiont (Feldhaar 2011).”
Three‐way interactions between plants, microbes and insects (2013, background): “…and symbi-onts aﬀect the ability of their insect hosts to exploit their food plants, exerting a strong inﬂuence on their performance, dynamics and specialization on diﬀerent food plants (e.g. Jones 1984; Janson et al. 2008; Feldhaar 2011; Ferrari & Vavre 2011; Frago, Dicke & Godfray 2012).”
Holobionts and the ecology of organisms: Multi-species communities or integrated individuals? (2016, background): “…acting in consortium, should be have made such claims: - “Therefore the holobiont, i.e. the host including all symbionts, should be regarded as the unit of selection as the association between host and symbionts may affect the fitness of the holobiont depending on the environment” (Feldhaar 2011).”
