.. To our surprise, both bacterial lineages show similar substitution rates, contrasting what we have observed in, for example, Leafhopper's symbiotic systems (Nasuia and Sulcia). Genome variations within and between aphid species indicate strong purifying selection acting on both symbionts..
.. Thus, we show that these symbionts have coevolved under comparable selective constraints and demographic events at least within this clade of Cinara species, that originated ~25 Million years ago
