Dynamic but constrained: Repeated acquisitions of nutritional symbionts in bed bugs (Heteroptera: Cimicidae) from a narrow taxonomic pool.

Václav Hypša, Jana Martinů, Sazzad Mahmood…·Ondřej Balvín

This study identifies multiple bacterial symbionts in bed bugs across 13 species, revealing dynamic evolution of symbiosis with repeated acquisitions and cospeciation events.
