Multiple concurrent and convergent stages of genome reduction in bacterial symbionts across a stink bug family
Abstract Nutritional symbioses between bacteria and insects are prevalent and diverse, allowing insects to expand their feeding strategies and niches. A common consequence of long-term associations is a considerable reduction in symbiont genome size likely influenced by the radical shift in selectiv...
