How host organisms evolved and maintain specific mutualisms with microorganisms is a fundamental question that is subject to intensive research. In the large majority of insect mutualisms, the host-microbe specificity is maintained by a "partner fidelity" mechanism, mainly through direct symbiont transmission from mother to offspring. Such vertical symbiont transmission is remarkably diverse in insects, including ovarial transmission, milk-gland transmission, coprophagy, egg-smearing, and capsule transmission. In contrast to the insect-microbe symbioses, many animals and plants do Advances in Insect Physiology # 2020 Elsevier Ltd
