Infection dynamics of endosymbionts that manipulate arthropod reproduction

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1787-1812, October 2025.
ABSTRACT A large proportion of arthropod species are infected with endosymbionts, some of which selfishly alter host reproduction. The currently known forms of parasitic reproductive manipulations are male‐killing, feminization, cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis induction and distortion of sex allocation.

Footprints of Human Migration in the Population Structure of Wild Baker's Yeast

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 20, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Humans have a long history of fermenting food and beverages that led to domestication of the baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Despite their tight companionship with humans, yeast species that are domesticated or pathogenic can also live on trees. Here we used over 300 genomes of S.
