This study examines symbiont stability and bacterial plasticity in urban corals, finding stable algal symbionts and variable bacterial communities that adapt to environmental changes.

The paper measures mosquito attraction to humans and finds species-specific odor preferences and bacterial associations.

This study identifies molecular markers in Phormia regina maggots to improve time of death estimation by analyzing transcriptomic signatures and gene expression patterns.

The paper examines diet and size variation in Cassiopea medusae across multiple locations, finding crustaceans as primary prey and limited relationship between size and prey diversity.

This study reviews 23 years of coral bleaching events in Indian reefs to identify species susceptibility patterns and highlight the need for repeated surveys to accurately assess bleaching impacts.

This study confirms whole-genome duplication in the algal symbiont Durusdinium trenchii and shows how lifestyle adaptations enhance coral thermotolerance.

This study shows that fertility decline in Aedes mosquitoes is linked to reduced maternal transcript deposition and occurs regardless of female age.

The paper presents genome and transcriptome data from Effrenium voratum, showing genome reduction predates symbiosis in Symbiodiniaceae and highlights differences between free-living and symbiotic lineages.

The paper shows that prolonged odor exposure modulates mRNA in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, affecting odorant receptors, OBPs, and xenobiotic response genes.

This study identifies a subfamily of ionotropic receptors in mosquitoes that are activated by carboxylic acids, which are key components of human sweat and microbial volatiles, and may underlie mosquito attraction to humans.

This study shows that the orco olfactory co-receptor is essential for maintaining female mosquito fertility after their first gonotrophic cycle.

The paper compares the transcriptomes of a heat-tolerant coral endosymbiont under stable and stressed conditions to identify molecular signatures of symbiosis and heat tolerance.
