#2 Led by Basabi Bagchi and Dylan Shropshire assesses temperature modulation of cytoplasmic incompatibility strength across 8 systems. With the help of Lore, Tim (Phd), and Elena/Kyle (undergrads), we show cifB expression partly explains temp-sensitive CI, while bacterial density in testes does not.

Temperature-sensitive cytoplasmic incompatibility across divergent Wolbachia partly reflects cifB transcription, not endosymbiont density
Maternally transmitted Wolbachia bacteria are common in insects, with many strains altering host reproduction through cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). CI kills embryos fertilized by Wolbachia -bearin...
