DOI: 10.1007/s13355-019-00630-4
Abstract: The majority of plant-sucking stinkbugs of the superfamily Pentatomoidea possess numerous crypts in the midgut as the symbiotic organ, where specific and beneficial symbiotic bacteria are harbored extracellularly. The host–symbiont relationships are co-speciating in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1264/jsme2.me22042
Abstract: Many stinkbugs in the superfamily Coreoidea (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) develop crypts in the posterior midgut, harboring Caballeronia (Burkholderia) symbionts. These symbionts form a monophyletic group in Burkholderia sensu lato, called the “stinkbug-associated beneficial and environmental (SBE)”… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.678100
Abstract: Cephalotes are herbivorous ants (>115 species) feeding on low-nitrogen food sources, and they rely on gut symbionts to supplement their diet by recycling nitrogen food waste into amino acids. These conserved gut symbionts, which encompass… read more here.
