This study expands the diversity of Asgardarchaeota, revealing metabolic features suggesting aerobic respiration in the Asgard-eukaryotic ancestor.

This study identifies viruses from hydrothermal vents and shows that while many are endemic, some share proteins related to core functions, suggesting geology influences viral ecology and host coevolution.

The paper examines phage interactions with chemosynthetic symbionts of hydrothermal vent snails and mussels, finding species-specific phages influence strain-level diversity and population dynamics.
