Environmental variation can have profound and direct effects on fitness, fecundity, and host-symbiont interactions. Replication rates of microbes within arthropod hosts, for example, are correlated with incubation temperature but less is known about the influence of host-symbiont dynamics on environmental preference. Hence, we conducted thermal preference (T<sub>p</sub> ) assays and tested if infection status and genetic variation in endosymbiont bacterium Wolbachia affected temperature choice o ...[more]
