Abstract: Hurricanes are catastrophically destructive. Beyond their toll on human life and livelihoods, hurricanes have tremendous and often long-lasting effects on ecological systems1,2. Despite many examples of mass mortality events following hurricanes3–5, hurricane-induced natural selection has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abd4473
Abstract: Long-term host microbiome structure selection drives host genome evolution and adaptation. One of the most difficult experimental challenges today is testing the evolutionary dynamics shaping complex host-microbiome interactions. We investigated host-microbiome codiversification in response to… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1143769
Abstract: The increase in the production of highly recalcitrant plastic materials, and their accumulation in ecosystems, generates the need to investigate new sustainable strategies to reduce this type of pollution. Based on recent works, the use… read more here.
