where he developed a research program focused on symbiosis and molecular ecology. Symbiosis is a defining feature of the biology of many animals, whose relationships with bacterial “symbionts” shape ...

Using innovative experimental designs and molecular techniques, our research uncovers symbiotic diversity and investigates how symbiosis can shape ecosystem functioning, drive species diversity, and ...

are highly diverse and can occur in symbiosis with mollusks, sponges, flatworms, protists, some ciliates, and cnidarians (including reef-building corals). Understanding the ecology and evolution of ...

Symbiotic interactions of microorganisms are widespread in nature, and support fundamentally important processes in diverse areas of biology that range from health and disease to ecology and the ...

The word symbiosis, originally defined as “where ... with important roles in health, disease, ecology and environmental processes.

Symbiotic relationships — mutually beneficial close partnerships between species — are among the most fascinating dynamics in the natural world. These collaborations can range from the ...

Harmful or Helpful? Symbiosis in Protists and in Humans Unlike the human microbiome, which hosts trillions of symbiont cells, the much smaller protists can likely carry a small handful.

After a couple of years at the University of Lund on a Marie Curie Fellowship (2018-2020), I am now back in Helsinki as the leader of the Insect Symbiosis Ecology and Evolution research group. I ...

Researchers from the Department of Insect Symbiosis at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena and the Mutualisms Research Group at the Max Planck Institute for Biology in Tübingen ...

Our research includes Ecology, Evolution, Environmental Change, Ecohydrology, Systematics & Floristics, and Symbiosis. These are investigated using genomics, computational science, stable isotopes, ...

The finding shows that diversity in the fungus genus is much greater than previously thought and that some of its species are ...
