Ageing is a progressive and irreversible biological process characterized by the deterioration of physiological functions and increased vulnerability to mortality. Although extensively studied in vertebrates, ageing in long-lived invertebrates remains comparatively unexplored. While ageing typica...
Variation in food availability can shape host susceptibility and pathogen virulence, thereby impacting disease outcomes. An ad libitum diet may enhance host physiology and immunity but it can also favor pathogen proliferation. Here, we investigated how food availability (ad libitum vs. starvation...
Parasitism is a widespread source of mortality among marine microbial communities, with members of the diverse alveolate group Syndiniales being most prevalent and frequently identified in global omics studies. Despite their ubiquity, not much is known about Syndiniales parasite-host infection dy...
