Strict Host-Symbiont Cospeciation and Reductive Genome Evolution in Insect Gut Bacteria

Host-symbiont cospeciation and reductive genome evolution have been identified in obligate endocellular insect symbionts, but no such example has been identified from extracellular ones. Here we first report such a case in stinkbugs of the family Plataspidae, wherein a specific gut bacterium is vert...
