Abstract: Abstract Following a host shift, repeated co‐passaging of a mutualistic pair is expected to increase fitness over time in one or both species. Without adaptation, a novel association may be evolutionarily short‐lived as it is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.14028
Abstract: Coevolution between mutualists can lead to reciprocal specialization, potentially causing barriers to host switching. Here, we conducted assays to identify pre‐ and post‐association barriers to host switching by endosymbiotic bacteria, both within and between two… read more here.
