is a symbiont of the small hive beetle (SHB), which is a scavenger of honey bee colonies. The SHB causes absconding of the economically important honey bee () and deposits in the honeycomb. We describe long-read sequencing and further analyses of the genome.

Supporting wild bee development with a bacterial symbiont.
J Appl Microbiol

Department of Biology, York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M3J 1P3.
Aims: Wild bees foster diverse microbiota that may determine survival success of developing larvae. Here, we compare survivorship and microbial communities of Ceratina calcarata small carpenter bees reared from eggs across three treatments: maternally collected control provisions with diverse microbiota, sterile provisions, and probiotic provisions supplemented with a beneficial symbiont, Apilactobacillus kunkeei.
Methods And Results: Survival probability and adult masses differed across treatments, with the probiotic treatment resulting in highest survivorship and masses.
Microbiome composition and turnover in the face of complex lifecycles and bottlenecks: insights through the study of dung beetles.

Unlabelled: Microbiome composition and function often change throughout a host's life cycle, reflecting shifts in the ecological niche of the host. The mechanisms that establish these relationships are therefore important dimensions of host ecology and evolution; yet, their nature remains poorly understood. Here, we sought to investigate the microbial communities associated with the complex life cycle of the dung beetle and the relative contributions of host life stage, sex, and environment in determining microbiome assembly.

In the phylum Nemertea, the class Hoplonemertea (former Enopla) comprises the largest number of studied species with complex spermatozoa. Asteronemertes gibsoni Chernyshev, 1991, a nemertean species having a symbiotic relationship with sea stars, is characterized by complex filiform spermatozoa. Here, spermatogenesis and spermatozoon structure in A.

Article Synopsis
- - The research focuses on the association of symbiotic ciliates with mollusks, particularly bivalves, highlighting their roles as commensal, epibiotic, and parasitic relationships in various habitats.
- - Approximately 80,000 mollusk species exist globally, yet only a small fraction have been studied regarding their ciliates symbionts, leading to a lack of comprehensive data.
- - The study presents an updated checklist that documents 165 species of ciliates found in 158 bivalve hosts across 31 different locations, marking the first thorough review of this aspect of their biodiversity.

Marine biogenic calcium carbonate production plays a role in the exchange of CO between ocean and atmosphere. The effect of increased CO on calcification and on the resulting chemistry of shells and skeletons, however, is only partly understood. Foraminifera are among the main marine CaCO producers and the controls on element partitioning and isotope fractionation is the subject of many recent investigations.
