Male-killing bacterial symbionts, prevalent in arthropods, skew population sex ratios by selectively killing male progeny, profoundly impacting ecolog…

Unlike obligate symbionts that are permanently associated with their hosts, facultative symbionts rarely show direct nutritional contributions, especially under nutrient-limited conditions. This study...

Many insects carry heritable bacterial symbionts, but the evolution of vertical (parent-to-offspring) transmission is poorly understood. Using the genus Arsenophonus, Siozios et al. show that microbes...
