Phenotypic divergence is driven by mobile genetic elements in a heritable insect symbiont

Balig Panossian, Matthew R. Kolp, Taoping Wu…·Benjamin J. Parker

The paper shows that mobile genetic elements drive phenotypic divergence in the insect symbiont Regiella insecticola by mediating gene gains and losses that affect host defense.

Pathogen-microbiome interactions and the virulence of an entomopathogenic fungus

Matthew R. Kolp, Yazmin de Anda Acosta, William T. Brewer…·Benjamin J. Parker

The paper investigates how bacteria influence the virulence of an aphid-specific fungus, showing that protective bacteria reduce fungal virulence and that fungi can acquire host-associated bacteria during infection.
