Engineering artificial photosynthetic life-forms through endosymbiosis by Jay Cournoyer, Sarah D. Altman, Yang-le Gao, Catherine L. Wallace, Dianwen Zhang, Guo-Hsuen Lo, Noah T. Haskin, Angad P. Mehta

“…Abstract The evolutionary origin of the photosynthetic eukaryotes drastically altered the evolution of complex lifeforms and impacted global ecology. The endosymbiotic theory suggests that photosynthetic eukaryotes evolved due to endosymbiosis between non-photosynthetic eukaryotic host cells and photosynthetic cyanobacterial or algal endosymbionts. …”

Element Geochemical Analysis of the Contribution of Aeolian Sand to Suspended Sediment in Desert Stream Flash Floods by Xiaopeng Jia, Haibing Wang

“…The interaction of wind and water in semiarid and arid areas usually leads to low-frequency flash flood events in desert rivers, which have adverse effects on river systems and ecology. In arid zones, many aeolian dune-fields terminate in stream channels and deliver aeolian sand to the channels. …”

Ophiocordyceps salganeicola, a parasite of social cockroaches in Japan and insights into the evolution of other closely-related Blattodea-associated lineages by João P. M. Araújo, Mitsuru G. Moriguchi, Shigeru Uchiyama, Noriko Kinjo, Yu Matsuura

“…Despite their ubiquity in nearly all environments insects occur, blattodeans are rarely found infected by filamentous fungi and thus, their ecology and evolutionary history remain obscure. In this study, we propose a new species of Ophiocordyceps infecting the social cockroaches Salganea esakii and S. taiwanensis, based on 16 years of collections and field observations in Japan, especially in the Ryukyu Archipelago. …”
