Facilitation of a tropical seagrass by a chemosymbiotic bivalve increases with environmental stress

Diana W. Chin et al.

Summary: The presence of the lucinid bivalve enhances the growth and survival of seagrass under decreased light availability and increased sulphide stress, showing a stronger facilitation effect in the presence of environmental stressors. This highlights the potential mechanism by which the association between lucinids and seagrasses is maintained, supporting the incorporation of interspecific facilitation into conservation and restoration strategies for foundation species in the face of global change.

Gill microbiome structure and function in the chemosymbiotic coastal lucinid Stewartia floridana

Shen Jean Lim et al.

Summary: Lucinid bivalves harbor environmentally acquired, chemosynthetic, gammaproteobacterial gill endosymbionts. Our analysis of the microbiome content of Stewartia floridana collected from Florida revealed a monospecific gammaproteobacterial endosymbiont and a low-abundance Spirochaeta-like species, indicating possible facultative association with scavenging and nutrient cycling roles. The expressed genes of the symbionts and host suggest species-species communications and the need for further study of interactions in the lucinid hosts, their microbiomes, and the environment.

Calibrating phylogenies assuming bifurcation or budding alters inferred macroevolutionary dynamics in a densely sampled phylogeny of bivalve families

Nicholas M. A. Crouch et al.

Summary: The study conducted a large-scale evaluation using the fossil record of bivalve molluscs, finding that calibrations based on budding branches can reduce conflicts between the tree and fossil record. Additionally, consideration of different branching models is essential for node-calibrating phylogenies.

Global biogeography of chemosynthetic symbionts reveals both localized and globally distributed

Jay T. Osvatic et al.

Summary: In the ocean, the Lucinidae family of marine bivalves is the most species-rich and widely distributed, hosting autotrophic bacterial endosymbionts. Metagenomics research revealed a cosmopolitan symbiont species associated with multiple lucinid host species, challenging our understanding of symbiont dispersal and location-specific colonization. This discovery highlights the importance of host and symbiont flexibility in the ecological and evolutionary success of the lucinid symbiosis.

Natural experiments and long-term monitoring are critical to understand and predict marine host-microbe ecology and evolution

Matthieu Leray et al.

Summary: The microbiome of marine multicellular organisms plays a significant role in influencing their host's physiological capacities. Understanding the dynamics of interactions between hosts and microbial genetic variation is crucial for marine ecosystems to adapt to environmental changes. Long-term, multi-disciplinary research is needed to advance our understanding of how host-associated microbes shape marine hosts' responses to environmental changes.
