Evolution by Association

TL;DR: Overall congruence consistent with a single infection of a whitefly ancestor with a bacterium and subsequent cospeciation (cocladogenesis) of the host and the P-endosymbiont was indicated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of land use disturbance in Mediterranean-type ecosystems are discussed, including land use changes and conflicts in the Western Cape Region of South Africa, South Africa and Chile.

TL;DR: Despite the presence (mammals) or the absence of a laminated forebrain, ‘prefrontal’ areas in mammals and birds converged over evolutionary time into a highly similar neural architecture.

TL;DR: Oral health or disease is an adventitious event that results from microbial adaptation to prevailing conditions; prevention of endogenous oral disease can occur only when the authors realize that ecology is the heart of these host-symbiont relationships.

TL;DR: This study utilized 16S rDNA sequencing to describe the composition of the bacterial community in fourth-instar ant larvae in order to identify possible endosymbiotic bacteria present therein, and found bacteria coadapted with red imported fire ant larvae were not detected.

TL;DR: This work presents a unified conceptual overview on range expansion of symbionts that integrates concepts grounded in niche and metapopulation theories and highlights the dual nature of the symbiont' niche, which is characterised by both host traits and the external environment.
