Host starvation and in hospite degradation of algal symbionts shape the heat stress response of the Cassiopea-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis

This study shows that host starvation and in hospite algal symbiont degradation are key factors in the heat stress response of Cassiopea, leading to 'invisible bleaching' due to body shrinkage.

Experimental evolution of metabolism under nutrient restriction: enhanced amino acid catabolism and a key role of branched-chain amino acids

This paper shows that Drosophila melanogaster populations adapted to nutrient-poor diets evolved enhanced amino acid catabolism and a trade-off between amino acid use for energy and protein synthesis.

Photosynthesis from stolen chloroplasts increases sea slug reproductive fitness

This study shows that photosynthesis from stolen chloroplasts enhances reproductive fitness in sea slugs by providing essential nutrients to reproductive organs.
