This study identifies a new parasitic micro-eukaryote in amphipods, describes its morphology and phylogeny, and expands known Filasterea diversity through environmental metagenomics.

This study shows that GABA produced by bacteria protects neurons in C. elegans from degeneration, revealing a role for dietary neuroactive compounds in nervous system health.

This study analyzes genome-wide divergence patterns in two incipient shorebird species with gene flow, finding distinct genomic regions associated with reproductive isolation and adaptation.
