Paradoxical role of new endosymbiotic associations: they facilitate the emergence of new partnerships, but inhibit deeper integration between hosts and guests (by favoring uncoordinated reproduction over synchronized ones). That is, easy come, easy go. #Endosymbiosis doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Currency exchange in endosymbiosis: early on, hosts’ investments generate a fortune in guest growth; near full reproductive synchronization, that same investment buys much less. That is, cheap early gains, expensive late ones.
