The Endosymbiont Consortia of Two Cixiidae Planthoppers Reveal an Ancient Symbiosis With ‘Candidatus Mirabilia Symbiotica’ [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.Many insects harbour ancient beneficial endosymbionts that produce essential nutrients. Two planthopper species from the Cixiidae family harbour different tripartite endosymbiont consortia, including a previously unknown and likely ancient Gammaproteobacterium in addition to Karelsulcia and Vidania.

Comparative Analyses of Gut Microbiomes in Hycleus cichorii (Coleoptera: Meloidae) Adults Reveal Their Distinct Microbes, Microbial Diversity and Composition Associated to Food [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.The study analyzed the gut microbial diversity and composition of H. cichorii with different dietary habits and genders. The results showed that an elevated richness in food composition corresponds to a higher diversity of gut microbial species in the host. It suggests that food plays a significant role in the composition of the gut microbial community,
