The paper uses eDNA metabarcoding to survey for an endangered fish in Mexican rivers, finding no evidence of its presence and identifying non-native species in some areas.

The paper reports genome drafts of three Spiroplasma Citri clade strains associated with Drosophila, inferring limited metabolic capacities and diverse toxin repertoires compared to Poulsonii clade strains.

The paper introduces DROP, a curated molecular reference database for Drosophila parasitoids, to improve molecular identification and taxonomic accuracy.

The paper investigates whether heritable endosymbionts affect early embryo mRNA transcriptomes and finds no consistent influence, but detects rRNA depurination consistent with Ribosome Inactivating Proteins.
