Horizontal gene transfer between insects and their symbionts causes genome reduction in both the host and the symbiont. happens frequently because of coevolution. has been observed, but is considered a rare event since the genomes of the two partners are very different causes genome reduction in the symbiont and genome expansion in the host.
