Shaping tiny worlds: Paternal microbiota manipulation influences offspring microbial colonization and development in a sex role-reversed pipefish

The paper investigates how paternal microbiota manipulation during male pregnancy affects offspring microbial colonization and development in pipefish.

Evaluating bacteriophage impact on gut microbiome composition in broad-nosed pipefish (Syngnathus typhle)

This study evaluates how bacteriophages affect the gut microbiome of broad-nosed pipefish, showing that lytic phages reduce Vibrio alginolyticus abundance while filamentous phages increase it.

Parental fasting effects on offspring immune gene expression and gut microbiota in a species with male pregnancy (Syngnathus typhle).

This study examines how parental fasting affects offspring immune gene expression and gut microbiota in Syngnathus typhle, showing maternal fasting reduces offspring condition and paternal fasting influences offspring immune activation and microbiome.

Parent-specific transgenerational immune priming enhances offspring defense - unless heat-stress negates it all

This study shows that parental transgenerational immune priming benefits offspring immunity but is negated by heat-stress, increasing vulnerability to pathogens.

A comparative analysis of the ontogeny of syngnathids (pipefishes & seahorses) reveals how heterochrony contributed to their diversification

This paper describes the ontogeny of three syngnathid species, showing how developmental heterochrony contributes to their morphological diversity.
