Closely related species often conserve similar niches despite interacting negatively. We suggest that close relatives may interact positively via ecosystem feedbacks: leaf litter produced or exposed in a closely related neighbourhood (low phylogenetic isolation) may decompose more quickly, leading to more rapid nutrient recycling.

Another tool in the toolbox: Aphid‐specific Wolbachia protect against fungal pathogens
Wolbachia infected more than 80% of Pentalonia aphids sampled across the Hawaiian Islands and other locations. The aphid‐specific M‐supergroup strains of this symbiont protected against a specialist fungal pathogen, Pandora, but not the generalist pathogen Beauveria or the parasitoid Aphidius colemanii.
