Facultative symbionts in aphids and the horizontal transfer of ecologically important traits.
Annual Review of Entomology, 2010Aphids engage in symbiotic associations with a diverse assemblage of heritable bacteria. In addition to their obligate nutrient-provisioning symbiont, Buchnera aphidicola, aphids may also carry one or more facultative symbionts. Unlike obligate symbionts,

Unrelated facultative endosymbionts protect aphids against a fungal pathogen.
Ecology Letters, 2013The importance of microbial facultative endosymbionts to insects is increasingly being recognized, but our understanding of how the fitness effects of infection are distributed across symbiont taxa is limited.

Temperature requirements of some aphids and their parasites
, 1974The rate of insect development depends upon the temperature to which the insects are exposed. For each species, the temperature below which no measurable development occurs is its threshold of development.

Lateral Transfer of Genes from Fungi Underlies Carotenoid Production in Aphids
Science, 2010Pink for Me, Green for You Aphids come in different colors, a critical issue when fate is a question of pigmentation: Red aphids tend to be consumed by ladybugs and green ones by parasitic wasps.

Biology of the Parasites and Hyperparasites of Aphids
, 1926A biological study of the parasites of aphids was begun early in the summer of 1920, after many observations during an outbreak of Aphis gossypii Glov. on cotton in North Carolina had demonstrated the economic importance of the parasites and predators in

Specialisation of bacterial endosymbionts that protect aphids from parasitoids
, 20141. Infection by the bacterial endosymbiont Hamiltonella defensa is capable of protecting the pea aphid from parasitism by Aphidius ervi and the black bean aphid from parasitism by Lysiphlebus fabarum.

Evolution and diversity of Arsenophonus endosymbionts in aphids
Molecular Ecology, 2013Endosymbiotic bacteria are important drivers of insect evolutionary ecology, acting both as partners that contribute to host adaptation and as subtle parasites that manipulate host reproduction.

Host plant selection by aphids: behavioral, evolutionary, and applied perspectives.
Annual Review of Entomology, 2006As phloem feeders and major vectors of plant viruses, aphids are important pests of agricultural and horticultural crops worldwide. The processes of aphid settling and reproduction on plants therefore have a direct economic impact, and a better ...
