Paleocene origin of a streamlined digestive symbiosis in leaf beetles

M. Garcia-Lozano, C. Henzler, M. A. G. Porras, I. Pons, A. Berasategui, C. Lanz, H. Budde, K. Oguchi, Y. Matsuura, Y. Pauchet, S. Goffredi, T. Fukatsu, H. Salem

This study determines the Paleocene origin of a symbiotic relationship between Cassidinae leaf beetles and their bacterial symbiont, showing how the symbiont enhances digestive capabilities and promotes host diversification.

Evaluating the role of coevolution in a horizontally transmitted mutualism

K. S. Stoy, J. Chavez, V. De Las Casas, V. Talla, A. Berasategui, L. T. Morran, N. M. Gerardo

The paper tests coevolutionary dynamics in a horizontally transmitted mutualism between squash bugs and their bacterial symbionts, finding no evidence of local or specialized adaptation.

The importance of environmentally-acquired bacterial symbionts for the squash bug (Anasa tristis), a significant agricultural pest

T. S. Acevedo, G. P. Fricker, J. R. Garcia, T. Alcaide, A. Berasategui, K. S. Stoy, N. M. Gerardo

This study shows that squash bugs acquire beneficial Burkholderiaceae bacteria from the environment, which enhance their survival and development, and can be transmitted to future generations.

Gut microbiota of the pine weevil degrades conifer diterpenes and increases insect fitness

A. Berasategui, H. Salem, C. Paetz, M. Santoro, J. Gershenzon, M. Kaltenpoth, A. Schmidt

This study shows that the gut microbiota of the pine weevil degrades conifer diterpenes, enhancing insect fitness by improving diet nutritional value rather than detoxification.
