Schistosoma haematobium and Schistosoma bovis first generation hybrids undergo large gene expressions remodeling consistent with species compatibility

This study examines gene expression changes in first-generation hybrids of Schistosoma haematobium and S. bovis, finding extensive transcriptomic remodeling with intermediate expression levels being most common.

Epigenetic variation causes heritable variation in complex traits in the mollusk Biomphalaria glabrata, vector of the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni

The paper shows that epigenetic variation in Biomphalaria glabrata affects heritable complex traits like fecundity and resistance to Schistosoma mansoni.

Cooperation and cheating orchestrate Vibrio assemblages and polymicrobial synergy in oysters infected with OsHV-1 virus

The paper investigates Vibrio species interactions with OsHV-1 virus in oyster POMS, finding cooperative and cheating behaviors that shape disease pathogenesis.

Hypomethylated poplars show higher tolerance to water deficit and highlight a dual role for DNA methylation in shoot meristem: regulation of stress response and genome integrity

This study shows hypomethylated poplars are more drought-tolerant and reveals DNA methylation's role in stress response and genome integrity in shoot meristems.

Chromatin structure changes in Daphnia populations upon exposure to environmental cues - or - The discovery of Wolterecks \"Matrix\"

The paper revisits Woltereck's Matrix hypothesis by showing chromatin structure changes in Daphnia exposed to environmental cues using a new ATAC-seq method.

Sympatric versus allopatric evolutionary contexts shape differential immune response in Biomphalaria / Schistosoma interaction.

The paper compares immune responses in sympatric and allopatric snail-Schistosoma interactions, finding that sympatric parasites suppress snail immunity while allopatric ones trigger immune activation.
