Developmental Neurobiology, Volume 85, Issue 3, July 2025.ABSTRACT In this study we propose a cell‐culture protocol to better comprehend the involvement of immune/blood cells (hemocytes) in the adult neurogenesis of crustaceans. We examined whether the hemocytes of the crab Ucides cordatus may develop into neural cells in response to an in vitro stimulus. The experiments involved two steps. First, we selected

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.The relationship between cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profile and the gut microbiome (GM) is poorly known in bees. In the primitively eusocial bee Halictus scabiosae we found a high rate of nest‐drifting by workers, which leads to a consequent highly variable intra‐colonial genetic relatedness. Genetically closely related workers, even occupying distant

Heritable symbionts in a world of varying temperature [PDF]
, 2016 Heritable microbes represent an important component of the biology, ecology and evolution of many plants, animals and fungi, acting as both parasites and partners. In this review, we examine how heritable symbiont–host interactions may alter host thermal

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,

Is Alzheimer's Disease Infectious?
Relative to the CJD Bacterial Infection Model of Neurodegeneration
AIMS Neuroscience, 2015 Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been recently considered as a possible brain infection related to the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) transmissible dementia model.

Spider Mites Singly Infected With Either Wolbachia or Spiroplasma Have Reduced Thermal Tolerance
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Heritable symbionts play an essential role in many aspects of host ecology in a temperature-dependent manner. However, how temperature impacts the host and their interaction with endosymbionts remains largely unknown.

Defensive Symbiont Genotype Distributions Are Linked to Parasitoid Attack Networks
Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 2, February 2025.Facultative symbionts are widespread in arthropods and can provide important services such as protection from natural enemies. Yet what shapes defensive symbiont associations in nature remains unclear. We show that the symbiont Hamiltonella defensa's genotype distribution strongly aligns with sharing the same parasitoids, rather than host plants ...
