The evolutionary development of plant‐feeding insects and their nutritional endosymbionts

Abstract: Herbivorous insects have evolved diverse mechanisms enabling them to feed on plants with suboptimal nutrient availability. Low nutrient availability negatively impacts insect herbivore development and fitness. To overcome this obstacle numerous insect lineages have evolved intimate associations with nutritional endosymbionts. This is especially true for insects that specialize on nitrogen-poor substrates, as these insects are highly dependent on intracellular symbionts to provide nitrogen lacking in their inse… Show more

“…Our experimental data provide tangential evidence for this hypothesis. It is also interesting to note that the majority of sRNAs (this study) and proteins (Hansen & Degnan, 2014) were upregulated in aphid embryos compared to maternal (Skidmore & Hansen, 2017).…”

“…It is also interesting to note that the majority of sRNAs (this study) and proteins (Hansen & Degnan, ) were upregulated in aphid embryos compared to maternal bacteriocytes. Potentially if some of these sRNA candidates are regulatory, the enrichment of Buchnera proteins may be more important in the embryonic stage of insect development where host control is not yet possible, because bacteriocytes have not fully formed yet around Buchnera cells (Skidmore & Hansen, ).…”

“…The microbiomes harbored by insects play important roles in mediating their host health and fitness, and hence have captured more and more attention by entomologists (Oliver et al ., ; Engel & Moran, ; Skidmore & Hansen, ; Blow & Douglas, ). Nowadays, accumulating studies have described the microbial diversity and its variations across different developmental stages in insects, especially for the holometabolous insects, such as Acromyrmex echinatior , Ceratitis capitata and Bactrocera dorsalis (Zhukova et al ., ; Malacrinò et al ., ; Zhao et al ., ).…”
