Insects frequently harbor multiple symbionts that collectively provide them with essential nutrients. Comparing several recent and ancient associations revealed a strikingly parallel pattern, by which a new symbiont was integrated into a preexisting host-symbiont interaction.
昆虫通常携带有多种共生菌，这些共生菌共同为它们提供必要的营养。比较最近和古代的几个共生关系揭示了一个惊人的相似模式，即新的共生菌被整合到已有的宿主-共生菌相互作用中。
