New publication: Beetle regulation of symbiont transmission

April 28, 2022

Faithful transmission of beneficial symbionts is critical for the persistence of mutualisms. But how do mothers balance investment against the risk of symbiont loss? We are super proud to see the group’s latest published today in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, led by Dr. Inès Pons. Congratulations, Inès!

National Geographic feature on host-microbe symbioses

April 21, 2022

How do microbes influence animal behaviour and physiology? Pleased to see our work, together with the labs of Ruth Ley and Thomas Bosch, highlighted in the latest print edition of National Geographic!
