Algae Living in Salamanders, Friend or Foe? [PDF]
, 2018 Roughly speaking, our bodies use energy from the sun, but we can\u27t use sunlight directly. Instead, plants and algae collect sunlight and store it as chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.

Horizontal Transmission of Intracellular Insect Symbionts via Plants
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Experimental evidence is accumulating that endosymbionts of phytophagous insects may transmit horizontally via plants. Intracellular symbionts known for manipulating insect reproduction and altering fitness (Rickettsia, Cardinium, Wolbachia, and ...

RORγt‐APCs: The New Masters of Oral Tolerance
Barrier Immunity, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oral tolerance is defined by the hypo‐responsiveness of our body to fed antigens, and its failure can lead to immune‐mediated diseases, such as allergy, chronic inflammation and autoimmune diseases. Decades of research have demonstrated that antigen‐presenting cells (APCs) promote oral tolerance by inducing regulatory T cells (Tregs) and/or ...

Host-selected mutations converging on a global regulator drive an adaptive leap towards symbiosis in bacteria [PDF]
, 2017 Host immune and physical barriers protect against pathogens but also impede the establishment of essential symbiotic partnerships. To reveal mechanisms by which beneficial organisms adapt to circumvent host defenses, we experimentally evolved ...

Pathways to social evolution: reciprocity, relatedness, and synergy [PDF]
, 2014 Many organisms live in populations structured by space and by class, exhibit plastic responses to their social partners, and are subject to non-additive ecological and fitness effects. Social evolution theory has long recognized that all of these factors
