Heritable microbes profoundly influence insect biology, yet the traits they confer often evolve rapidly and differ among closely related symbiont s...

Tell Canada: Don't Fast-Track the Grays Bay Road and Port

How to help students navigate the unwritten rules of the academy.

The vertebrate digestive tract harbors complex microbial communities whose influences on phenotypes and fitness in non-model organisms remain poorly understood. Here, we show that colonization with gu...

Biomedical research is increasingly constrained by repetitive, fragmented workflows that slow discovery. We introduce Biomni, a general-purpose biomedical artificial intelligence agent that autonomous...

Microbiology Society journals contain high-quality research papers and topical review articles. We are a not-for-profit publisher and we support and invest in the microbiology community, to the benefi...

Abstract. Environmental stress leads to changes in community composition by altering competitive hierarchies and pushing taxa towards extinction. Parasites

Abstract. Phage therapy offers an alternative to antibiotics for treating multidrug-resistant infections. Plasmid-dependent phages (PDPs) are promising the

Nature Microbiology, Published online: 01 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41564-026-02366-8The scientific information ecosystem is dysbiotic, but the conditions for ecological succession towards a more diverse, inclusive and resilient ‘infobiome’ are present. Scientists, institutions and platform builders should act together.

Progress in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to advance scientific discovery has made it increasingly realistic to envision automated “end-to-end science” (ETES) systems: integrated pipelines t...

The Dog Aging Project is recruiting dogs to participate in the largest canine health study ever conducted. This is an opportunity to be part of a research project…

To holistically understand the biology of animals, we must unravel the complexities and specificities of host-microbe interactions across animal taxa. Birds represent enigmatic and scientifically comp...

The criminal extortion group ShinyHunters breached Instructure last week. The hackers, who have also attacked individual universities, demanded the ed-tech giant pay up or face a data leak.

Abstract. Host sexual dimorphism in the outcome of infections is a ubiquitous phenomenon across taxa. However, the immunological differences between males

As organizers of the upcoming CSEE symposium “Microbial symbiosis: disturbance, adaptation, and the parasitism–mutualism continuum”, we want this to be more than just a series of talks—we want it to s...

Background Cercozoa are single-celled eukaryotes (protists) and are part of the supergroup Rhizaria. Cercozoans have vastly different morphologies and are defined by their phylogenetic affinity. While...
