The paper examines convergent and divergent patterns of holobiont evolution in co-distributed chemosynthetic symbioses, finding eco-geographical barriers and convergent adaptations in symbiont traits.

This study compares genomic adaptations of Methanocorpusculum archaea in animal and protist hosts, revealing distinct evolutionary strategies shaped by host-specific selective pressures.

This study examines the evolutionary emergence of chemosymbiosis in deep-sea shrimps, finding convergent origins and a gradient of bacterial colonization across species.

This study analyzes environmental sequencing data to reveal the global distribution and hidden diversity of marine anaerobic ciliates, identifying many novel lineages.

The paper examines genomic responses of hydrothermal vent animals and their symbionts to population decline after the Hunga volcanic eruption, finding contrasting patterns of genetic diversity loss between hosts and symbionts.

The paper analyzes genomic data from marine anaerobic ciliates and their methanogenic symbionts to understand transmission modes and population divergence in syntrophic symbioses.

The paper examines phage interactions with chemosynthetic symbionts of hydrothermal vent snails and mussels, finding species-specific phages influence strain-level diversity and population dynamics.

The paper identifies closely related Methanocorpusculum endosymbionts in two divergent marine anaerobic ciliates, revealing host-specific stability and higher-level symbiont replacement.

The paper uses metagenomic analyses to study symbiont composition in deep-sea hydrothermal vent snails, finding that environmental factors and geographic barriers influence symbiont strain composition more than host genetics.

The paper compares genome sequences of two deep-sea clam symbionts to identify genetic differences linked to their ecological niche adaptations.
