Enhanced heat tolerance of viral-infected aphids leads to niche expansion and reduced interspecific competition

Organisms living on and inside of plants—such as microbes and herbivorous insects—can interact in complex ways. Here the authors show that a plant virus increases the temperature of the plant and also the thermal tolerance of an aphid species feeding on the plant; this change in thermal tolerance al...
