Three genotypes – a heat‐resistant maize (Zea mays), a heat‐susceptible maize, and a sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) variety – were grown to the V4 stage in growth chambers under optimal conditions or subjected to heat stress. Plants were grown in soil containing a complex microbial community, or in the same soil with a depleted microbiome.

Inflammatory diseases, such as inflammatory bowel diseases, are dramatically increasing worldwide, but an understanding of the underlying factors is lacking. We here present an ecoevolutionary perspective on the emergence of inflammatory diseases.

Yanomami skin microbiome complexity challenges prevailing concepts of healthy skin
The adult skin microbiome typically exhibits low microbial complexity, particularly on sebaceous sites, where lipophilic Cutibacterium and Malassezia spp. predominate.

Viral and Bacterial Epibionts in Thermally-Stressed Corals
The periodic rise in seawater temperature is one of the main environmental determinants of coral bleaching. However, the direct incidence of these episodic thermal anomalies on coral-associated microbiota and their subsequent effects on coral health are ...

This article takes the work and life of Conrad Waddington to illustrate the point that science, art and humanities can be mutually constituting fields that each bring light to aspects of reality that the others may not yet have the tools or the language for and that they can thereby work together to bring new revelations and progress.

Bacterial peptidoglycan levels have brain area, time of day, and sleep loss-induced fluctuations
Sleep-inducing bacterial cell wall components isolated from brain and urine of sleep deprived animals were identified as peptidoglycan (PG) and muropeptides in the 1980s.

Microbes of the phytomicrobiome are associated with every plant tissue and, in combination with the plant form the holobiont. Plants regulate the composition and activity of their associated bacterial community carefully.

Abstract In this article, I consider two arguments concerning the status of holobionts as evolutionary individuals—one rejects their status by privileging the “stability of lineages” and the other supports their status by privileging ...

The Evolution, Assembly, and Dynamics of Marine Holobionts
The holobiont concept (i.e., multiple living beings in close symbiosis with one another and functioning as a unit) is revolutionizing our understanding of biology, especially in marine systems. The earliest marine holobiont was likely a syntrophic partnership of at least two prokaryotic members.
