Microbial symbionts expanding or constraining abiotic niche space in insects.
Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2020 In addition to their well-studied contributions to their host's nutrition, digestion, and defense, microbial symbionts of insects are increasingly found to affect their host's response toward abiotic stressors.

A Symbiotic View Of Life: We Have Never Been Individuals [PDF]
, 2012 The notion of the biological individual is crucial to studies of genetics, immunology, evolution, development, anatomy, and physiology. Each of these biological subdisciplines has a specific conception of individuality, which has historically provided ...

Current Biology, 2019 Interactions in nature vary from competitive to neutral to symbiotic. An interesting case of symbiosis is seen when one organism provides protection to the other-a relationship termed 'defensive symbiosis'. Kayla King highlights this interesting type of relationship, which can be found throughout the tree of life.

Symbiosis As The Way Of Eukaryotic Life: The Dependent Co-Origination Of The Body [PDF]
, 2014 Molecular analyses of symbiotic relationships are challenging our biological definitions of individuality and supplanting them with a new notion of normal part whole relationships. This new notion is that of a \u27holobiont\u27, a consortium of organisms

Symbiont diversity is not involved in depth acclimation in the Mediterranean sea whip Eunicella singularis [PDF]
, 2011 In symbiotic cnidarians, acclimation to depth and lower irradiance can involve physiological changes in the photosynthetic dinoflagellate endosymbiont, such as increased chlorophyll content, or qualitative modifications in the symbiont population in ...

Science, 2016 M. McNutt (“#IAMARESEARCHPARASITE,” Editorial, 4 March, p. [1005][1]) can be proud to be a “research parasite.” The creators of this term, Longo and Drazen ([ 1 ][2]), miss the very point of scientific research when they write that researchers may “even use the [open] data to try ...

The Mycobacterial Cell Envelope: A Relict From the Past or the Result of Recent Evolution?
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Mycobacteria are well known for their taxonomic diversity, their impact on global health, and for their atypical cell wall and envelope. In addition to a cytoplasmic membrane and a peptidoglycan layer, the cell envelope of members of the order ...

Contact and voter processes on the infinite percolation cluster as models of host-symbiont interactions [PDF]
, 2011 We introduce spatially explicit stochastic processes to model multispecies host-symbiont interactions. The host environment is static, modeled by the infinite percolation cluster of site percolation.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 Our intestine is the site of an extraordinarily complex and dynamic environmentally transmitted consortial symbiosis. The molecular foundations of beneficial symbiotic host-bacterial relationships in the gut are being revealed in part from studies of simplified models of this ecosystem, where germ-free mice are colonized with specified members of the ...

Genomic blueprints of sponge-prokaryote symbiosis are shared by low abundant and cultivatable Alphaproteobacteria [PDF]
, 2019 Marine sponges are early-branching, filter-feeding metazoans that usually host complex microbiomes comprised of several, currently uncultivatable symbiotic lineages.
