This study shows that freshwater sponges acquired the microbial gene rquA via lateral gene transfer, enabling rhodoquinone biosynthesis and adaptation to hypoxia.

This paper demonstrates that semi-permeable capsules can sustain and observe eukaryotes from eight supergroups, enabling parallel cultivation and microscopic analysis.

This study investigates how artificial light at night (ALAN) affects life history traits and behavior in rotifers, finding species-specific responses to different light wavelengths.

The paper examines immune responses and life-history trade-offs in a Daphnia magna - Metschnikowia bicuspidata host-parasite system using transcriptomics and life-history trait measurements.

This study investigates the immune response of Daphnia magna to the parasitic bacterium Pasteuria ramosa, revealing key immune genes and pathways involved in host defense and parasite restriction.
