  • Bacterial symbionts help marine organisms adapt to environmental changes due to their quick reproduction and ability to exchange genes.
  • The Isthmus of Panama created different habitats in the Tropical Eastern Pacific and Caribbean, allowing researchers to study evolution in response to these distinct environments.
  • In the study of sister species of bivalves, it was found that only the Caribbean symbionts had the ability to fix nitrogen, which evolved through horizontal gene transfer, emphasizing the importance of bacteria in the ecological diversity of marine life.
