A sedimentological oxymoron: highly evolved glauconite of earliest diagenetic origin by Tribovillard, Nicolas, Bout-Roumazeilles, Viviane, Guillot, François, Baudin, François, Deconinck, Jean-François, Abraham, Romain, Ventalon, Sandra

“…Yet, the chemical composition of grains (Fe and K) typifies glauconite as highly evolved, meaning that its formation must have lasted over times, according to conventional views. Consequently, our results challenge these conventional views and confirm that glauconite can form in relatively shallow environments (which has been already brought to light previously) and it is concluded that early diagenetic glauconite can be markedly enriched in both K and Fe, which is an unprecedented result.…”

Co-obligate symbioses have repeatedly evolved across aphids, but partner identity and nutritional contributions vary across lineages by Manzano-Marín, Alejandro, Coeur d’acier, Armelle, Clamens, Anne-Laure, Cruaud, Corinne, Barbe, Valérie, Jousselin, Emmanuelle

“…Here, using metagenomics on 25 aphid species from nine subfamilies, re-assembly and re-annotation of 20 aphid symbionts previously sequenced, and 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing on 223 aphid samples (147 species from 12 subfamilies), we show that dual symbioses have evolved anew at least six times. We also show that these secondary co-obligate symbionts have typically evolved from facultative symbiotic taxa. …”
