Molecular evidence of the eukaryotic parasites Perkinsea and Stylocephalidae in lizard muscle tissue

Erin S Brown-Vera, Michael S. Yuan, Erin P. Westeen…·Iris A. Holmes

The paper identifies novel Alveolate parasites in lizard tissues using 18S rRNA metabarcoding and phylogenetic analysis, revealing sequences related to Stylocephalidae and Perkinsea not previously found in reptiles.

Increased host diversity limits bacterial generalism but may promote microbe-microbe interactions

Iris A. Holmes, José Gabriel Martínez‐Fonseca, Rudolf von May…·Tory A. Hendry

The paper examines how host diversity affects bacterial generalism and microbe-microbe interactions in reptile communities, finding that generalists are less prevalent in high-diversity host communities and tend to co-occur with other generalists.
