This paper describes how starvation in Vibrio atlanticus leads to a novel mechanism of attacking and killing the dinoflagellate Alexandrium pacificum.

This study shows that host genetics, not environment, primarily shapes the microbiota of Bulinus truncatus snails, with geographic distribution having a smaller effect.

The paper characterizes immune cells in Pacific oysters using single-cell RNA sequencing and other methods, identifying seven functionally distinct cell types and three hematopoietic lineages.
