This study shows that microbes influence neuronal circuits controlling eating behavior in Hydra by affecting mouth opening, with glutamate playing a role in interkingdom communication.

The paper applies the niche concept and trait-based approaches to study microbial community assembly in Hydra, finding that microbial interactions influence community structure beyond individual traits.

This study shows that microbiota community structure across various host organisms aligns with neutral model predictions, suggesting neutral processes rather than host selection primarily shape microbial communities after colonization.

The paper shows that Bdellovibrio and like organisms (BALOs) are associated with increased microbiome diversity in various host groups.

The paper identifies metabolic co-dependence as the driving force behind the ancient Hydra-Chlorella symbiosis, showing nutrient exchange between host and symbiont.

The paper investigates how temperate phages influence bacterial competition in Hydra vulgaris microbiota by modulating interactions between Curvibacter sp. and Duganella sp.
