Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2026.Thermal stress significantly alters signalling receptor abundance in the model cnidarian Exaiptasia diaphana. TRPA1, EP2 and GRIK2 increased under elevated temperatures, while EP4 remained unchanged, indicating differential thermal modulation of oxylipin‐ and glutamate‐linked pathways.

SwarmGenomics: A Unified Pipeline for Individual‐Based Whole‐Genome Analyses
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.ABSTRACT Advances in sequencing technologies have made whole‐genome data widely accessible, enabling research in population genetics, evolutionary biology, and conservation. However, analysing whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) data remains challenging, often requiring multiple specialised tools and substantial bioinformatics expertise.

Activity‐Informed Network Analysis Reveals Keystone Microbes Shaping Freshwater Ecosystem Function
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.Graphical abstract illustrating the workflow and key findings of this study. We first applied SPIEC‐EASI to metagenomic abundance data to construct microbial co‐occurrence networks and selected the top 15 MAGs based on degree centrality. We then used CARlasso to detect relationships between the top MAGs and environmental features.

Non‐Canonical, Somatic‐Dependent Vertical Transmission of Wolbachia in an Aphid
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.We discovered a novel somatic‐associated Wolbachia transmission strategy in cedar bark aphids (Cinara cedri), contrasting with its typical maternal vertical transmission. This unique maternally retained somatic re‐acquisition strategy—a “piggybacking” on the highly efficient obligate symbiont transmission pathway—reveals diverse endosymbiont strategies

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.Escovopsis primorosea LBM 277 efficiently produced proteases, β‐1,3‐glucanases and chitinases under submerged fermentation using Leucoagaricus gongylophorus cell walls and Mandels complex. RSM‐BBD optimization significantly increased enzyme activity. The enzymatic cocktail remained stable for 30 days at room temperature and pH 4–6, aligning with the ...
