Mechanisms Underlying Microbial Symbiosis: Advances in Insect Physiology, cartea 58

Kerry M. Oliver, Jacob A. Russell
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 mai 2020
Insects engage in intimate associations with microbial symbionts that colonize their digestive systems or internal cells and tissues. The stability and near ubiquity of many of these "symbioses" implies their importance, a prediction supported through experimentation. With the advancing power of experimental methodologies and the growing accessibility of genomic techniques, insect science has reached a powerful new stage enabling the study of previously recalcitrant symbioses, including several with medical and agricultural significance. In this volume we publish a collection of chapters focused on the physiology of insect-microbe symbioses, emphasizing their mechanistic underpinnings, and the ecological and evolutionary causes and consequences of these interactions. Resident microbes modulate insect digestion, nutrition, detoxification, reproduction, interspecies signaling, and host-parasite interactions, and these chapters synthesize impactful, state-of-the art research on insect-microbe symbioses. Through discussions of the mechanisms that both stabilize and regulate these symbioses, these chapters yield further insight into the physiological integration between many insects and their influential microbial partners.


  • A broad look at the wide range of symbiont roles and impacts throughout Insecta
  • Molecular and genomic-assisted insights into the diversity and function of symbioses
  • Insights into the influence and integration of symbionts from medically and agriculturally important insects
