Distribution, Vertical Transmission, and Cooperative Mechanisms of Obligate Symbiotic Bacteria in the Leafhopper Maiestas dorsalis (Hemiptera, Cicadellidea)

SIMPLE SUMMARY: Leafhoppers depend on plant sap as their food source, which is inherently unbalanced in terms of nutrition. To compensate for this deficiency, leafhoppers rely on obligate symbiotic bacterial associations to acquire the amino acids that are lacking in their diet. In this study, we fo...
