Orthogonal axes of microbiome variation associated with functionally distinct transcriptomic signatures in the gut of wild Drosophila melanogaster

The paper analyzes microbiome and transcriptomic data from wild Drosophila melanogaster to show orthogonal microbiome variation correlates with distinct host gene expression signatures.

Natural strongyle infection reduces relative abundance of inflammation-inducing Prevotella in wild primates

The paper investigates the relationship between natural strongyle infection and changes in the gut microbiome of wild primates, finding reduced Prevotella abundance linked to inflammation.

Species and intra-specific competition affect growth in greenhouse more than mycorrhizal colonization on Quercus rubra and Acer rubrum seedlings

This study compares growth and mycorrhizal colonization in Acer rubrum and Quercus rubra seedlings under varying nutrient levels and competition, finding that species and intra-specific competition have greater impacts on growth than mycorrhizal colonization.
