Just as the human body serves as a habitat for bacteria and other microbes, diverse, tiny organisms known as protists host their own microbiomes. "We know there are many symbionts in the world, but it ...
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) offer a fascinating example of biological control, effectively suppressing insect pests through a unique tripartite symbiosis with specialised bacteria. These ...
The predatory mirid bug, Nesidiocoris tenuis, which preys on agricultural pests, is used as a biological control agent. This discovery has significant implications for biological control which ...
Insect symbiosis with endosymbiotic bacteria represents a fundamental biological association that shapes insect ecology, evolution and adaptability. Across a diverse range of insect taxa, mutualistic ...
Reed beetle Donacia marginata. Reed beetles have a semi-aquatic lifestyle. This means that their larvae develop underwater in ponds or streams, while the adults live outside the water. This is an ...
Scientists identify new species of denitrifying endosymbionts in wastewater, highlighting their global prevalence – with an ...

Clover plants grown in Mars-like soils experience significantly more growth when inoculated with symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria than when left uninoculated. Franklin Harris of Colorado State ...
Autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata) is a non-native invasive shrub from Asia that is increasingly problematic in much of the U.S. Midwest. Much of the competitiveness of autumn olive is due to its ...
