In general, symbionts generally favor dispersal out of the host to avoid competition with their close relatives, while hosts are expected to restrict symbiont migration and thus reduce the virulent tendencies (Frank 1996b).
These patterns have been interpreted as a general signature of the symbiotic origin of eukaryotes [ 2 3 ] and horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of symbiont genes to the nucleus [ 4 5 6 7 8 9 ] . On the one hand, this complexity resulting from HGT can obscure some aspects of evolutionary history [ 8 ] . However, HGT also can provide the means to investigate otherwise difficult questions, such as inferring the number of symbiotic events and estimating the time of those events.
