This study investigates how Wolbachia affects body mass and metabolic rate in Drosophila species and finds that Wolbachia consistently alters these traits across diverse host systems.

The paper identifies a mechanochemical mechanism in Physarum polycephalum that links intracellular calcium oscillations to coordinated behaviors, showing how simple organisms can generate complex adaptive responses.

The paper uses a discrete generation model to show that finite host population size and maternal transmission rates drive stochastic fluctuations in Wolbachia prevalence.
