Evolution of molecular communication in the permanent Azolla symbiosis
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 1666-1674, February 2026.Summary Heritable symbioses exist across eukaryotes with different degrees of intimacy. In most cases, the symbionts are obligate and require inheritance for their survival. On the host side, symbiont retention can facilitate fitness benefits. Only rarely are these symbioses interwoven to the point that host survival relies on the symbiont.

Holobiont Diversity in a Reef-Building Coral over Its Entire Depth Range in the Mesophotic Zone
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Mesophotic reef-building coral communities (~30–120 m depth) remain largely unexplored, despite representing roughly three-quarters of the overall depth range at which tropical coral reef ecosystems occur.

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 3, February 2026.Significance Statement Contrary to expectation, NUPTs do not necessarily have a deleterious or ultimately neutral impact, nor are they necessarily purged from the genome. Instead, they can proliferate and eventually become fixed, generating new and novel genes, gene regions and regulatory elements, thereby significantly contributing to plant nuclear ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Endosymbioses between animals and chemoautotrophic bacteria are ubiquitous at hydrothermal vents. These environments are distinguished by high physico-chemical variability, yet we know little about how these symbioses respond to environmental ...

A New Classification Framework to Understand Evolutionary Transitions in Individuality
BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.Classifying biological entities based on whether and how the two fundamental aspects physiological and evolutionary components are represented yields six types of structural organization. The resulting framework allows to compare different forms of organization, and, in this way, provides insight into the evolutionary processes giving rise to these ...

Mechanisms Underlying the Transmission of Insect Pathogens
Insects, 2019 In this special issue the focus is on the factors and (molecular) mechanisms that determine the transmission efficiency of a variety of insect pathogens in a number of insect hosts.

Diversity, Composition, and Specificity of the Philaenus spumarius Bacteriome
MicroorganismsPhilaenus spumarius (Linnaeus, 1758) (Hemiptera, Aphrophoridae) was recently classified as a pest due to its ability to act as a vector of the phytopathogen Xylella fastidiosa. This insect has been reported to harbour several symbiotic bacteria that play

Microorganisms(1) Background: Microbial keratitis is a serious eye infection that carries a significant risk of vision loss. Acanthamoeba spp. are known to cause keratitis and their bacterial endosymbionts can increase virulence and/or treatment resistance and thus ...

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2011 The use of Wolbachia as a tool to control insect vectors has recently been suggested. In this context, studies on the prevalence and diversity of this bacterium in wild populations are relevant.
