The success of the methods deployed by the researchers has led to a new discovery: Many protists in the ocean’s upper layer have symbiotic bacteria hitching a ride along with them. It is also of ...
In new research published this week in Cell Host & Microbe, a team led by Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) scientists reveals that symbiotic bacteria often accompany single-celled protists in ...
Scientists have found that male blue-lined octopuses inject venom and paralyse females during sex to avoid being killed and cannibalised by their much larger partners. At such a critical moment in US ...
For millennia, humans have had an unwritten trade deal with the microbes that inhabit our guts. We feed them fiber, and they ...
Gut microbes that were thought to feed exclusively on dietary fiber also get fed sugar from our guts, from which they produce ...
Scientists observed male blue-lined octopuses injecting tetrodotoxin into females, which rendered them immobile for mating ...
Molecular cloaking mechanism unveils the iconic partnership between anemonefish and anemones. The symbiotic relationship ...
UNCG philosopher of biology Derek Skillings will investigate the emergence and evolution of goal-directed behavior in collective entities, such as biofilms and corals, in collaboration with ...
Gut microbes that were thought to feed exclusively on dietary fiber also get fed sugar from our guts, from which they produce ...
"Mating ended when the females regained control of their arms and pushed the males off," the researchers noted.
