Wolbachia feminizes a spider host with assistance from co-infecting symbionts

Virginija Mackevicius‐Dubickaja, Yuval Gottlieb, Jennifer A. White, Matthew R. Doremus

The paper identifies Wolbachia strain W1 as the feminizing agent in spiders and shows that co-infecting symbionts enhance feminization efficacy.

Warm temperature inhibits cytoplasmic incompatibility induced by endosymbiotic Rickettsiella in a spider host

Jordyn D. Proctor, Virginija Mackevicius‐Dubickaja, Yuval Gottlieb, Jennifer A. White

This study investigates how temperature affects cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) in Rickettsiella-infected spiders, finding that warm temperatures reduce CI induction but not rescue.
