Plasticity of mycangia in Xylosandrus ambrosia beetles [PDF]
AbstractInsects that depend on microbial mutualists evolved a variety of organs to transport the microsymbionts while dispersing. The ontogeny and variability of such organs is rarely studied, and the microsymbiont's effects on the animal tissue development remain unknown in most cases.
