The paper examines microbiome assembly in fireflies, finding both stochastic and deterministic processes shape bacterial associations across species.

The paper tests if the bug-Caballeronia symbiosis is mutualistic by measuring how leaffooted bugs affect their symbiont's abundance in soil.

The paper examines thermal response strategies of two Caballeronia symbiont strains under heat stress, finding that heat-resistant strains prioritize growth-related pathways while heat-vulnerable strains favor stress response mechanisms.

This study shows that the symbiont Lariskella causes cytoplasmic incompatibility in Leptoglossus zonatus but does not affect host fitness, while the absence of Caballeronia reduces survival and reproduction.

The paper investigates malathion degradation by gut microbes of the Colorado potato beetle, finding enantiomer-specific degradation by three bacterial isolates.
