Wolbachia is the most abundant intracellular symbiont among terrestrial Arthropoda. This
bacterium together with other microorganisms, ie, Cardinium, gained fame mainly as the …

Bacteria of the genus “Candidatus Cardinium” and related organisms composing the
Cardinium clade are intracellular endosymbionts frequently occurring in several arthropod …

Although ostracods are important components in aquatic ecosystems, little is known about
their microbiomes. Here, we analyzed the microbiomes of the putative ancient asexual …

The discovery of animal genetic (mostly also cryptic) species has known an exponential
increase since molecular techniques became available. Also in non-marine ostracods …

ABSTRACT Ostracods (Crustacea, Ostracoda) from Doñana (SW Spain): an updated
checklist, including new records, of Recent and Quaternary non-marine, marine and …

Endosymbiotic bacteria manipulating host biology and reproduction, and sometimes also
causing parthenogenesis, are known from many metazoan taxa. Three recent studies have …

Rapid development of high-throughput sequencing methods and metagenomics revealed a
diverse world of microbiota associated with multicellular organisms. Although recent …
