昆虫的细菌共生体是普遍存在的，并影响其宿主的几个生态相关性状。虽然在理解这些关联的程度和表型结果方面取得了快速进展，但缺乏关于宿主和共生体基因组之间操作的精细尺度进化过程的经验数据。最近发表的研究蚜虫、果蝇和蝴蝶共生关系的论文开始揭示，这些关联可能比以前认识到的更有活力。
Bacterial symbionts of insects are pervasive and influence several ecologically relevant traits of their hosts. Although there has been rapid progress in understanding the extent and phenotypic outcome of these associations, there is a paucity of empirical data on fine-scale evolutionary processes that operate between the genomes of host and symbiont. Recently published papers examining symbiont relationships of aphids, fruit flies and butterflies are starting to reveal that these associations might be more dynamic than was appreciated previously.
