Wolbachia, a genus of bacteria that normally infects anthropods , especially insects, is already known for its odd behavior that can affect species in strange ways. For example, Wolbachia has been shown to be correlated with fast evolution among species it infects and is suspected for being responsible for a variety of speciation events as a side affect of Wolbachia creating reproductive barriers. Wolbachia by some estimates infects more than half of all anthropods and is already thought to play a major role in the evolution and speciation of many invertebrates.
