ONE WAY STREET. “Once a host lineage has proceeded down the irreversible path into obligate symbiosis, it seems that there is little opportunity to exit. In a few cases, such as the leafhopper subfamily Typhlocybinae, symbionts may have been lost in connection with dietary shifts: e.g., phloem sap to parenchyma. More often, the only escape from degenerate partners seems to be to supplement or replace them with new symbionts.”
