Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

Host Shaping Associated Microbiota in Hydrothermal Vent Snails from the Indian Ocean Ridge

Biology
Snails at hydrothermal vents rely on symbiotic bacteria for nutrition; however, the specifics of these associations in adapting to such extreme environments remain underexplored.

Archaeal Genes Code for GGDEF Domain Proteins With Diguanylate Cyclase Activity

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
A biofilm‐like mode of growth is hypothesized to be required for the emergence of cellular life. Occurrence of common biofilm gene products in current Bacteria and Archaea is an indication for their previous presence in the last universal common ancestor LUCA and perhaps even in the first universal common ancestor FUCA.

The Influence of Diet on the Composition and Function of Gut Microbiota in Four Snake Species

Ecology and Evolution
Diet plays an important role in shaping the intestinal flora, especially as demonstrated in non‐mammalian studies. However, the precise associations underlying the interaction between the snake gut microbiota and diet remain poorly understood.

Divergent gut microbial metabolism supports niche partitioning in giant and red pandas

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionThe gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in regulating the host's physiological functions and behavior. The coevolutionary relationship between the host and its gut microbiota facilitates adaptation to specific ecological niches.

Microbiome and Metabolomics in Obesity: Advances in Understanding and Interventions Across the Lifespan

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obesity arises from intertwined and reciprocal diet‐microbiome‐host pathways that reshape energy balance, insulin sensitivity, and inflammation. This review synthesizes mechanistic links between microbial functions and metabolic control, charts lifestyle‐related lifecourse dynamics from birth to older age, examines how GLP‐1‐based therapies ...

Adaptive characteristics of the gut microbiota of the scaly-sided merganser (Mergus squamatus) in energy compensation at different developmental stages

Frontiers in Microbiology
The gut microbiota is crucial for maintaining health, enhancing digestive efficiency, and promoting the development of the immune system of the host. However, for the endangered waterfowl, the scaly-sided merganser (Mergus squamatus), the physiological ...
