Cold-water gut isolate from threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) reveals polypropylene surface oxidation and co-culture inhibition

The paper isolates gut microbes from threespine stickleback and finds some degrade plastic, but interactions between microbes can inhibit this activity.

Rates of evolution differ between cell types identified by single-cell RNAseq in threespine stickleback

The paper uses single-cell RNAseq and population genomic data to show that immune cell types have faster evolutionary divergence in their characteristic genes compared to non-immune cell types.

An intestinal cell atlas and organoid model for the threespine stickleback

The paper creates a cell atlas and organoid model for threespine stickleback intestines, characterizing cell types and developing a functional experimental system.

Among-population variation in the threespine stickleback ( Gasterosteus aculeatus ) liver metabolome: effects of ancestry and environment

This study examines metabolome variation in threespine stickleback across populations, showing both genetic and environmental influences on liver metabolites.

Lake size shapes the relationship between body mass and gut microbiota in threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus)

This study shows that lake size influences how body mass relates to gut microbiota diversity in threespine stickleback fish, with intermediate-sized lakes showing the most diverse microbiota.

Temperature modulates PFAS accumulation and energy allocation in sheepshead minnows

This study shows warming reshapes PFAS tissue concentrations and distribution, influencing fish energy-allocation trade-offs.

Identification and characterization of the surface layer protein AvsA in outer membrane vesicles, antibiotic resistance, and in vivo host colonization in Aeromonas veronii

This study identifies and characterizes AvsA, a surface layer protein in Aeromonas veronii, showing its role in antibiotic resistance, biofilm formation, and host colonization.

Destabilized host-parasite dynamics in newly founded populations

The paper experimentally studies host-parasite dynamics in newly founded stickleback populations, finding destabilized infection rates and rapid eco-evolutionary responses.
