Retention of an endosymbiont for the production of a single molecule

A. Garber, A. Garcia de la Filia Molina, I. M. Vea, A. J. Mongue, L. Ross, J. P. McCutcheon

The paper identifies a mealybug with three endosymbionts, one contributing only two genes to produce a single essential nutrient, chorismate, highlighting extreme genome reduction in endosymbionts.

Host-associated microbial diversity in New Zealand cicadas uncovers elevational structure and replacement of obligate bacterial endosymbionts by Ophiocordyceps fungal pathogens

D. Haji, J. Vailionis, M. Stukel, E. R. Gordon, E. Lemmon, A. Lemmon, J. P. McCutcheon, C. Simon

This study examines gut microbial diversity in New Zealand cicadas, finding elevational patterns and replacement of bacterial symbionts with fungal pathogens across species.

The evolution of interdependence in a four-way mealybug symbiosis

A. I. Garber, M. Kupper, D. R. Laetsch, S. R. Weldon, M. S. Ladinsky, P. J. Bjorkman, J. P. McCutcheon

This paper studies the genomic and metabolic interdependence of two recently acquired gammaproteobacterial endosymbionts in mealybugs, showing their rapid adaptation to an intracellular lifestyle.

Changes in endosymbiont complexity drive host-level compensatory adaptations in cicadas

M. A. Campbell, P. Łukasik, M. M. Meyer, M. Buckner, C. Simon, C. Veloso, A. Michalik, J. P. McCutcheon

The paper shows that cicadas with more complex Hodgkinia endosymbiont lineages increase the number of Hodgkinia cells transmitted to eggs to ensure full complement transmission.

Idiosyncratic genome degradation in a bacterial endosymbiont of periodical cicadas

M. A. Campbell, P. Łukasik, C. Simon, J. P. McCutcheon

The paper shows that Hodgkinia genomes in Magicicada species have diverged into multiple genomic circles, with varying gene content and stability, suggesting stochastic and nonadaptive genomic degradation.
