Stochastic Fluctuations of the Facultative Endosymbiont Wolbachia due to Finite Host Population Size
ABSTRACT Many insects and other animals host heritable endosymbionts that alter host fitness and reproduction. The prevalence of facultative endosymbionts can fluctuate in host populations across time and geography for reasons that are poorly understood. This is particularly true for maternally tran...
