Evolution of host support for two ancient bacterial symbionts with differentially degraded genomes in a leafhopper host. [PDF]
Plant sap-feeding insects (Hemiptera) rely on bacterial symbionts for nutrition absent in their diets. These bacteria experience extreme genome reduction and require genetic resources from their hosts, particularly for basic cellular processes other than
