Modeling trophic dependencies and exchanges among insects’ bacterial symbionts in a host-simulated environment

Abstract Background Individual organisms are linked to their communities and ecosystems via metabolic activities. Metabolic exchanges and co-dependencies have long been suggested to have a pivotal role in determining community structure. In phloem-feeding insects such metabolic interactions with bac...
