Just when you thought Halloween was over - the ghosts of a brief colonisation has been found in the genetic record in weevils on the Canary Islands.

Guest blogger Adam Brachtl tells the story of this study, from the @evojlinnsoc.bsky.social Special Issue, 'Evolution on Islands'.

Have you ever looked at some differentially occurring gene clusters in a microbial #pangenome and thought to yourself "I wonder if they contribute to any metabolic modules"?

With the most recent changes, the answer is a few clicks away in #anvio 😇

Let's celebrate this - Holobionts are incontrovertible, multipartite entities that result from ecological, evolutionary, and genetic processes. They are not restricted to one special process but constitute a wider vocabulary and framework for biology. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
Getting the Hologenome Concept Right: an Eco-Evolutionary Framework for Hosts and Their Microbiomes | mSystems

1/2 Unexpected and weird results are frustrating unless you have the opportunity to get to the bottom of them, and we frequently encounter this with island arthropods. Following up on them is time consuming, but often provides quirky insights into community assembly dynamics.
