Migratory Songbirds as Potential Ectozoochorous Protist Dispersal Vectors
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.We demonstrate that migratory songbirds carry diatoms (Bacillariophyta) in their plumage, revealing an unexpected avian–algal association. All seven bird specimens we examined contained diatoms—224 frustules representing 25 genera and 9 orders, primarily freshwater, benthic pennates—some retaining chloroplasts prior to digestion and mounting (implying ...

Marine epibiosis. III. Possible antifouling defense adaptations in Polysyncraton lacazei (Giard) (Didemnidae, Ascidiacea) [PDF]
, 1991 Polysyncraton lacazei (Giard), a colonial tunicate of the western Mediterranean, seems to be well-protected against epibiosis. Out of several thousand potential colonizers estimated, only one kamptozoan species, Loxocalyx sp., is found with some ...

Legume Science, Volume 7, Issue 4, December 2025.ABSTRACT Legume root nodules host symbiotic rhizobia that are essential for nitrogen fixation but also harbor diverse non‐rhizobial taxa that remain poorly characterized. Field pea (Pisum sativum) cultivars adapted to distinct seasonal growth (spring and winter) offer an opportunity to explore whether host genotype influences nodule‐associated ...

Changing bryozoan fauna in Otago Harbour reflects growing urbanisation and globalisation
New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 957-978, December 2025.ABSTRACT A comparison between historic reports dating from 1884 (78 records of 35 species) to the bryozoan fauna present today (98 colonies of 14 species) reveals considerable faunal change in Otago Harbour / Te Wai Ōtākou (45° 50'S 170° 38'E) in Dunedin, east coast of South Island, Aotearoa New Zealand.

Metabolic Potential of Candidatus Saccharimonadia Including Rare Lineages in Activated Sludge
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.Candidatus Saccharimonadia is ubiquitously found in activated sludge processes, but its ecophysiological characteristics remain poorly understood. Metagenome analysis of Ca. Saccharimonadia in size‐fractionated activated sludge revealed that the epiparasitic lifestyle may extend to diverse lineages of Ca.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 12, Page 2807-2818, December 2025.Abstract Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is commonly used to visualize mixtures of proteins, such as those embedded in calcareous biominerals. However, it is ineffective for the detection of biochromes, a major class of low molecular weight organic compounds commonly associated with calcified exoskeletons.
