Insects engage in intimate associations with microbial symbionts
that colonize their digestive systems or internal cells and
tissues. The stability and near ubiquity of many of these
"symbioses" implies their importance, a prediction supported
through experimentation. With the advancing power of experimental
methodologies and the growing accessibility of genomic techniques,
insect science has reached a powerful new stage enabling the study
of previously recalcitrant symbioses, including several with
medical and agricultural significance. In this volume we publish a
collection of chapters focused on the physiology of insect-microbe
symbioses, emphasizing their mechanistic underpinnings, and the
ecological and evolutionary causes and consequences of these
interactions. Resident microbes modulate insect digestion,
nutrition, detoxification, reproduction, interspecies signaling,
and host-parasite interactions, and these chapters synthesize
impactful, state-of-the art research on insect-microbe symbioses.
Through discussions of the mechanisms that both stabilize and
regulate these symbioses, these chapters yield further insight into
the physiological integration between many insects and their
influential microbial partners.
