Evolutionary Applications, 2023 Genomic studies are uncovering extensive cryptic diversity within reef‐building corals, suggesting that evolutionarily and ecologically relevant diversity is highly underestimated in the very organisms that structure coral reefs.

Plants, 2022 Sitobion miscanthi, an important viral vector of barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV), is also symbiotically associated with endosymbionts, but little is known about the interactions between endosymbionts, aphid and BYDV.

Subcellular proteomics reveals a blueprint for endosymbiont integration in trypanosomatid Angomonas deanei. [PDF]
Nat CommunThe acquisition of endosymbionts is a fundamental process that has driven the evolution of eukaryotes. The tree of life is filled with cases of internalised prokaryotes that have become integrated into their hosts, often forming mutually beneficial ...

Elongation factor-P at the crossroads of the host-endosymbiont interface [PDF]
, 2015 Elongation factor P (EF-P) is an ancient bacterial translational factor that aids the ribosome in polymerizing oligo-prolines. EF-P structurally resembles tRNA and binds in-between the exit and peptidyl sites of the ribosome

Similar cost of Hamiltonella defensa in experimental and natural aphid‐endosymbiont associations
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Endosymbiont‐conferred resistance to parasitoids is common in aphids, but comes at a cost to the host in the absence of parasitoids. In black bean aphids (Aphis fabae), costs in terms of reduced lifespan and lifetime reproduction were demonstrated by ...

An insect-endosymbiont conundrum [PDF]
Heredity, 2009 Research over the last 20 years has shown that a large fraction of insect species has intimate associations with symbiotic bacteria that often have major effects on their biology. Some symbionts are mutualists increasing their host's fitness, whereas in other cases the host obtains no benefit or even suffers from carrying the micro-organism.

Insect endosymbiont proliferation is limited by lipid availability [PDF]
, 2014 Spiroplasma poulsonii is a maternally transmitted bacterial endosymbiont that is naturally associated with Drosophila melanogaster. S. poulsonii resides extracellularly in the hemolymph, where it must acquire metabolites to sustain proliferation. In this

Does Mother Provide? Re‐Examination of Maternal and Embryonic Microbiomes of Diploptera punctata [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis figure summarizes the compositional differences in the non‐blattabacterial microbiomes of embryonic and adult females of the viviparous, Diploptera punctata. This shows the non‐negligible presence and possibly maternal sources of these bacterial taxa in developing embryos.

A male-killing Wolbachia endosymbiont is concealed by another endosymbiont and a nuclear suppressor
PLOS Biology, 2023 Bacteria that live inside the cells of insect hosts (endosymbionts) can alter the reproduction of their hosts, including the killing of male offspring (male killing, MK). MK has only been described in a few insects, but this may reflect challenges in detecting MK rather than its rarity.
