Abstract: Abstract Interspecies competition affects the distribution, quantity, and community structure of insects, especially among closely-related (congeners) species. Some ecological factors differentially affect the fitness of co-existing species, thus conferring an advantage on one competitor, and… read more here.

Abstract: Xenorhabdus species are symbionts of entomopathogenic nematodes and pathogens of susceptible insects. Nematodes enter insect hosts and perforate the midgut to invade the haemocoel where Xenorhabdus bacteria are released transitioning to their pathogenic stage. During… read more here.
