B. J. Parker, J. Hrcek, A. H. C. McLean, J. A. Brisson, H. C. J. Godfray
The paper examines variation in symbiont density between host and symbiont genotypes and finds that higher densities correlate with survival costs but not protection against fungus, suggesting antagonistic coevolutionary dynamics.
