Genome reduction and horizontal gene transfer in the evolution of Endomicrobia—rise and fall of an intracellular symbiosis with termite gut flagellates

mBio
Bacterial endosymbionts of eukaryotic hosts typically experience massive genome reduction, but the underlying evolutionary processes are often obscured by the lack of free-living relatives. Endomicrobia, a family-level lineage of host-associated bacteria

Integrative Network Pharmacology, Molecular Docking, and In Vitro Insights Into the Mechanism of Finger Citron for Non‐Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
An integrative strategy combining network pharmacology, molecular docking, and in vitro cellular experiments was employed to elucidate the anti‐NAFLD mechanism of FC. A total of 62 bioactive compounds and 306 common target genes were identified, followed by PPI, GO, and KEGG analyses to screen key targets and pathways.

Understanding the Hygienic Behavioral Dynamics of Ants Using Multi‐State Models

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 361-370, April 2026.
Leaf‐cutting ants adjust grooming to pathogen risk and vulnerable nestmates. Multi‐state Markov models reveal shorter, frequent self‐grooming bouts and reduced allogrooming persistence under stress, optimizing social immunity via stigmergic decision‐making.

Neglected Floral Visitors in the Galapagos Islands: Understanding the Structure of Ant‐Flower Interaction Networks

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 321-332, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Ant‐flower interactions are prevalent in many ecosystems, yet their ecological significance remains poorly understood, particularly in isolated systems like the Galapagos Islands, where unique biotic assemblages create distinct interaction networks.

Diet Outweighs Vertical Transmission in Shaping Dung Beetle Larval Gut Microbiomes

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 7, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The microbiome is central to host development and adaptation, yet the balance between vertical and environmental acquisition, and how hosts shape surrounding microbial communities, remains poorly understood. Dung beetles rely on microbial symbionts to extract nutrients from vertebrate dung, with part of their microbiome vertically inherited ...
