The Symbiocene as a transformative vision
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3459-3465, October 2026.Abstract We live in times of crises and calls for a transformative social‐ecological change are voiced increasingly often. The question is, however, how such a transformation could be achieved. The prevailing view is that we are living in an era in which human activities significantly altered planet Earth: the Anthropocene. According to this narrative,

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 10241-10250, October 2026.Host defence volatiles inhibit mountain pine beetle fungal symbionts in a compound‐ and enantiomer‐specific manner, with distinct dose–response profiles that reveal the multitarget chemical defences of beetle–fungi symbiotes. Abstract BACKGROUND The mountain pine beetle relies on symbiotic fungi to overcome host tree defences, yet these fungi must ...

Coinfections Dampen the Effects of Temperature on Host–Parasite Interactions
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 10, October 2026.Temperature can drive large shifts in host–parasite interactions, but these shifts need not correspond to strong effects on coinfecting parasite interactions. Coinfection may provide a stabilizing effect on disease in a warming world—but this effect can falter when hosts are faced with multiple stressors.

Positive Genetic Correlation Between Yield and Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation in Pea
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Crop improvement can enhance food security, but side effects, such as trade‐offs between valuable agronomic traits, are common. Likewise, fertilisation helps ensure high yields but can devalue mutualisms with soil microbes that would otherwise be essential for nutrient acquisition.

Problems With GO Enrichment as an Endpoint for Ecological Omics Interpretation
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.ABSTRACT Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis has been widely adopted for interpretating omics data, including in ecological research. Although valuable for summarizing large gene lists into functional categories, it is often treated as the final interpretive step.

Phagocytosis of microbial symbionts supports embryonic nutrition in the sponge Halichondria panicea
MicrobiomeBackground Animal development is frequently supported by microbial symbionts that contribute to host nutrition, metabolism, and physiology. While the functional importance of microbiomes in adult hosts is increasingly recognized, the role of symbiotic ...

A Spontaneous Mutation in tfoX Impairs Bioluminescence in Photobacterium kishitanii ANT‐2200
Molecular Microbiology, Volume 126, Issue 4, Page 343-350, October 2026.A frameshift mutation in tfoX generates a truncated regulator associated with reduced lux–rib expression and low luminescence. Complementation with wild‐type tfoX restores transcription and light production, supporting a role for TfoX in regulating bioluminescence independently of quorum sensing.

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 2, Page 861-874, October 2026.Sampling design and locations in Europe from the southernmost to the northernmost location: Taygetos (Greece), Manchoya (Spain), Cvrsnica (BIH), Comborsier (France), Krn (Slovenia), Dachstein (Austria), Malá Fatra (Slovakia), Jondal (Norway). Summary Climate is a major driver of fungal species distributions and community composition, yet disentangling ...

Consistent root microbiomes across contrasting habitats in a wild perennial vine
Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 1880-1898, October 2026.Communities of bacteria and fungi associated with the roots are similar across diverse habitats in a wild plant. Abstract While we are beginning to understand that the plant microbiome is important for plant health, we still lack information about how plant microbiomes are shaped across environments and how they influence plant performance, in ...

Underground allies: Mycorrhizal flexibility facilitates orchid occurrence in post‐mining landscapes
Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 1899-1911, October 2026.Epipactis helleborine associates with largely habitat‐specific fungal communities, with limited overlap between mining and woodland sites, yet maintains comparable genetic diversity across habitats. These results highlight the role of mycorrhizal flexibility in enabling habitat shifts and expanding ecological niches in human‐altered landscapes ...
