I just got this wonderful surprise in the mail. I gave some feedback to the Author a few years ago and they sent me this beautiful copy with 16 symbioses represented with poems in 2 voices and fun, brief descriptions. Really beautiful 😍 #symbiosky

christoph: tend to recall that also the CPR epibionts – e.g. saccharibacteria – employ monstrously large proteins to contact/attach to their hosts (can't find the ref. though). anbody here for help?

Within‐Host Environmental Heterogeneity Is Associated With Phenotypic but Not Genomic Diversity in Wolbachia Endosymbionts (A) Wolbachia's success in colonising new hosts depends on the tissue they originate from. (B) Genome resequencing revealed that differences in colonisation success were not due to genetic change but...

Our paper on the influence of within-host environmental heterogeneity on phenotypic & genomic diversity of Wolbachia in Armadillidium vulgare is now published!

have you ever wondered how endosymbionts cope with the many pseudogenes in their genomes (before they generously reduce them by a factor of ~10)?
