Wolbachia are intracellular α-Proteobacteria found in insect, filarial nematode, mite and crustacean species. Previously, we have shown that Wolbachia strains differ in their relative fitness and that these fitness differences depend on the environment [1]. This project will use experimental evolution [2, 3] and next generation sequencing technology in combination with population genetic modeling and functional Drosophila genetics to understand the evolutionary dynamics of an endosymbiont in an evolving host.
