The paper examines microbiome composition and stability in Indian honeybees foraging in a homogeneous landscape, finding host identity shapes microbiome structure more than foraging behavior or resources.

This study shows that Drosophila melanogaster selected for increased early-life reproduction under protein limitation show reduced immune resistance and survival after infection, with these effects being sex-specific and mitigated by mating.

This study shows that microbiota influences sex-specific infection outcomes in mealworm beetles, with females being more susceptible and microbiota depletion reducing this dimorphism.

This study shows that host evolution against coinfections is influenced by the growth and virulence dynamics of individual pathogens, with fast-acting pathogens hindering adaptive success.

The paper presents an improved genome assembly and annotation of the red flour beetle from India, including the first Y chromosome assembly, which enhances genome analysis and evolutionary studies.
