Spicy food for the egg-cowries: the evolution of corallivory in the Ovulidae (Gastropoda: Cypraeoidea) - Frontiers in Marine Science: Introduction: Host-parasite associations provide very useful models to study adaptive processes. We investigated the interaction between carnivorous marine gastropods, the Ovulidae or egg-cowries, and their cnidarian food targets. Ovulidae (Fleming, 1828), is a family of specialized carnivorous caenogastropods that feed by browsing on octocorals (Anthozoa: Octocorallia: Malacalcyonacea and Scleralcyonacea) or, to a much lesser degree, on antipatharians (Anthozoa: Hexacorallia: Antipatharia) and Stylasteridae (Hydrozoa: Hydroidolina: Anthoathecata). Very scanty information is available on the phylogenetic relationships and the degree of specificity of the relationship with the cnidarians of this corallivorous lineage, especially for deep-water taxa.

Our Microbe of the Month for July is Clostridium tanneri. It was named after Ralph S. Tanner, a contemporary American microbiologist for his many contributions to the field of anaerobic microbial cultivation.

Discover the fascinating journey of tannins under the microscope. Vegetable extracts and members of the polyphenol family, tannins are not just chemical compounds; they are a bridge between different species and kingdoms, acting as messengers of the plant world. These polyphenols boast unique properties, such as their role in stabilising animal proteins, modulating microbiota and reducing GHG emissions in the atmosphere. Learn more about the unparalleled benefits of tannins for plants, animals and humans, and how they contribute to protecting our forest heritage and promoting economic development in rural areas. Let’s appreciate the virtues of tannin together! Read the full article "Tannin under the microscope" here: https://lnkd.in/gtdY-bP    #Tannins #Sustainability #Innovation #Science

#MIP Zaid Abdo Lab's latest research, in collaboration with USDA scientists, reveals a fascinating dive into the genetic makeup of #Salmonella strains found in #BroilerChicken litter, highlighting the significance of #Antimicrobial resistance #Genes and virulence factors: https://lnkd.in/gs85A3kv. Through meticulous analysis of three Salmonella serovars across multiple flocks, the researchers uncovered intriguing patterns of persistence, shedding light on potential #EnvironmentalSelection pressures. This study not only advances understanding of Salmonella's resilience in #Poultry environments but also underscores the critical role of genetic characteristics in its spread and potential impact on #FoodSafety. Authors: Reed Woyda, Adelumola Oladeinde, Dinku Endale, Timothy Strickland, Jodie Plumblee Lawrence, and Zaid Abdo. #BroilerLitter #FoodBorneIllness #GenomeSequencing #MetalResistence #SalmonellaIsolates #CSUResearch

🌊 🔬 I am thrilled to share our work on the global freshwater distribution of Telonemia. One of our key findings: Telonemia, one of the oldest identified protist groups are surprisingly prevalent in deep, cold lakes. Their abundance can reach up to 20% of total eukaryotes in these environments. https://lnkd.in/ecsNC73s
