## Abstract Bacteria, the most abundant organisms on the planet, are outnumbered by a factor of 10 to 1 by phages that infect them. Faced with the rapid evolution and turnover of phage particles, bacteria have evolved various mechanisms to evade phage infection and killing, leading to an evolutiona

Male-killing bacteria are cytoplasmic sex-ratio distorters that are transmitted vertically through females of their insect hosts. The killing of male hosts by their bacteria is thought to be an adaptive bacterial trait because it augments the fitness of female hosts carrying clonal relatives of thos
