The study examines the core genome evolution of Methylobacterium to show that genes related to phyllosphere adaptation show greater evolutionary discordance, suggesting horizontal gene transfer.

The paper examines microbiome instability in red flour beetles, showing ecological drift driven by environmental factors and its impact on host fitness benefits.

The paper shows that physical confinement affects bacterial growth differently based on cell shape, with high aspect-ratio bacteria benefiting more.

This study compares epiphytic and endophytic bacterial communities in rice landraces, finding convergence in core genera but divergence in composition, diversity, and stability across developmental stages.
