• Bacterial symbionts as mediators of ecologically important traits of insect hosts (2011, background): “Interestingly, even seemingly well characterised symbionts such as Wolbachia (Werren et al., 2008; Engelstädter & Hurst, 2009) are frequently found to be responsible for wider range of holobiont phenotypes than formerly assumed (Teixeira et al., 2008; Hosokawa et al., 2010).”
• Animals in a bacterial world, a new imperative for the life sciences (2013, background): “Coming full circle, the influence of microbes on animal reproduction can be observed with particular clarity in invertebrates (61).”
• The Hidden World within Plants: Ecological and Evolutionary Considerations for Defining Functioning of Microbial Endophytes (2015, background): “Manipulation of the sex ratio in offspring is an example of how endophytes can manipulate the fitness of their hosts, in analogy to Wolbachia infection of particular insect species, indicating that manipulation of the gender balance in offspring is common among higher eukaryote-microbe interactions ”
