Marine nematodes exhibit widespread symbiosis, novel chemoautotrophy, and evolutionary conservation of holobiont taxa

This study sequenced holobionts of 220 marine nematodes, revealing widespread symbiosis, novel chemoautotrophy, and evolutionary conservation of holobiont taxa.

MeioBIOME: A snakemake workflow for the parallel analysis of meiofaunal genomes and host-associated bacteria/archaea

MeioBIOME is a Snakemake pipeline for analyzing holobiont metagenomes from single meiofaunal specimens, generating host-associated MAGs and SCGs.

Environmental gradients and habitat specificity structure benthic microbial assemblages in a temperate seagrass ecosystem

The paper analyzes microbial and microeukaryote communities in seagrass and bare sediment habitats to show how environmental gradients and habitat features shape benthic biodiversity.

Pseudoalteromonas is a novel symbiont of marine invertebrates that exhibits broad patterns of phylosymbiosis

This study identifies Pseudoalteromonas as a novel symbiont of marine invertebrates showing phylosymbiosis across multiple phyla and geographic regions.
