The paper examines microbiome dynamics in honey bees during swarming preparation, finding no changes in absolute abundances but differential abundance in some taxa.

This paper identifies Bartonellaceae bacteria in planthoppers, showing diverse genomic sizes and functions, including one ultra-reduced genome lacking amino acid biosynthesis.

The paper uses multi-target amplicon sequencing to study interactions between Entomophthora fungi, their dipteran hosts, and associated bacteria in South Greenland, revealing host-specificity patterns and bacterial community differences.

The paper presents the smallest bacterial genomes known and evaluates patterns of reductive evolution in planthopper symbionts.

This study uses genome-level data to resolve the phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary history of planthoppers, identifying new taxonomic placements and dating the origin of the group to the Permian period.

The paper analyzes microbial communities in Greenland mosquitoes, finding low abundance and no core microbiota, with high diversity and sex-specific associations.

The paper introduces a high-throughput quantitative multi-target amplicon sequencing workflow to improve microbial community profiling in wild insects, addressing contamination and identification issues.

The paper describes how an endosymbiont in a planthopper uses a unique cellular localization strategy to ensure maternal transmission and discusses its genomic features and evolutionary implications.

The paper surveys microbial symbionts in Macrosteles leafhoppers, finding limited variation in symbiont prevalence across populations and over time.

The paper sequenced and analyzed the genomes of two endosymbiotic bacteria in planthoppers, revealing independent evolutionary origins and genomic rearrangements that challenge previous assumptions about their shared ancestry.
