- Partner choice is a central aspect of the origin and evolutionary maintenance of mutualistic associations. As more and more taxonomically and functionally diverse symbioses between insects and microorganisms are discovered, understanding the mechanistic and molecular basis of signaling and screening to ensure partner specificity becomes increasingly important. Since chemical interactions between the symbiotic partners likely mediate partner choice in the majority of associations, contributions from the discipline of chemical ecology will greatly enhance our knowledge about the ecological and evolutionary processes governing specificity in mutualistic interactions.
