Male age and Wolbachia dynamics: Investigating how fast and why bacterial densities and cytoplasmic incompatibility strengths vary
J. D. Shropshire, E. Hamant, B. S. Cooper
The paper investigates how quickly and why Wolbachia-induced cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) strength declines with male age in two Drosophila species, finding different patterns in Wolbachia density and CI gene expression.
