Frontiers | The Internal, External and Extended Microbiomes of Hominins | Ecology and Evolution
The social structure of primates has recently been shown to influence the composition of their microbiomes. What is less clear is how primate microbiomes might in turn influence their social behavior, either in general or with particular reference to hominins. Here we use a comparative approach to understand how microbiomes of hominins have, or might have, changed since the last common ancestor (LCA) of chimpanzees and humans, roughly six million years ago. We focus on microbiomes associated with social evolution, namely those hosted or influenced by stomachs, intestines, armpits, and food ...
Genome Evolution of Coral Reef Symbionts as Intracellular Residents - ScienceDirect
Coral reefs are sustained by symbioses between corals and symbiodiniacean dinoflagellates. These symbioses vary in the extent of their permanence in a…

Post doctoral researcher in salmon hologenomics | EURAXESS
The NTNU University Museum is looking for an energetic and ambitious postdoctoral researcher in computational hologenomics for a period of up to three years, as part of an international project funded by the Norwegian Seafood Research Fund (FHF). The HoloFish project aims to explore the interactive effect of the genome and microbiome on salmon growth and quality.

Host-microbe interactions in octocoral holobionts - recent advances and perspectives | Microbiome | Full Text
Octocorals are one of the most ubiquitous benthic organisms in marine ecosystems from the shallow tropics to the Antarctic deep sea, providing habitat for numerous organisms as well as ecosystem services for humans. In contrast to the holobionts of reef-building scleractinian corals, the holobionts of octocorals have received relatively little attention, despite the devastating effects of disease outbreaks on many populations. Recent advances have shown that octocorals possess remarkably stable bacterial communities on geographical and temporal scales as well as under environmental stress. ...

“Birth” of the modern ocean twilight zone | Science
The ocean “ twilight zone,” where sunlight hardly penetrates, is located at depths of 200 to 1000 m from the sea surface. Inhabited by iconic species such as lantern fish and giant squid, it has stimulated our collective imagination for generations. To this day it remains largely unexplored and has revealed few of its secrets. Also known as the mesopelagic, this zone occupies 20% of the volume of the world's oceans. It plays a key role in the global carbon cycle ([ 1 ][1], [ 2 ][2]) and may contain both biomass and biodiversity that have been largely underestimated ([ 3 ][3], [ 4 ][4]). On ...
The discovery in 2018 of superconductivity when two layers of graphene are stacked on top of each other at a “magic angle” has opened a new paradigm for studying electronic phenomena ([ 1 ][1]). Now, a pair of studies, one on page 1133 of this issue by Hao et al. ([ 2 ][2]) and the other by Park et al. ([ 3 ][3]), take the twisting magic trick one step further. More robust and tunable superconductivity was realized in three-layer stacks of graphene arranged at an alternating magic twist angle that is a factor of ![Graphic][4] greater than the magic angle for bilayers. The authors also prese...
