For example, microorganisms that are able to metabolize hydrocarbons emitted from methane seeps form the basis of food webs that can comprise hundreds of animal species. Now, a study published in <i>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA</i> shows that some sea spiders (from the class Pycnogonida) harness the chemical energy of methane seeps by feeding on chemoautotrophic bacteria that live on their exoskeleton. During oceanographic expeditions off the coasts in California and Alaska, Dal Bó and colleagues collected specimens of three species of sea spiders known only from methane seeps. Through sequencing analyses and microscopic observations, they found abundant and diverse methanotrophic and methylotrophic bacteria living on the sea spider bodies. This association is more than skin deep: isotopic labelling experiments and subsequent single-cell imaging and analyses of digestive tissues showed that the sea spiders assimilate methane-derived carbon by consuming the methane-oxidizing bacteria. The presence of the bacteria also on the egg sacs carried by adult males suggests that these invertebrates pass on their microbial symbionts to their offspring. Beside putting sea spiders in the company of the hairy-chested yeti crab among the animals known to farm specialized bacteria on their own bodies, Dal Bó and colleagues’ discovery showcases how much there is still to discover about the life forms and ecosystems of the ocean depths.</p><p><b>Original reference:</b> <i>Proc.

To characterize society’s contribution to the global soundscapes, we used passive acoustic recorders at 139 sites across 6 continents, sampling both urban green spaces and nearby pristine sites continuously for 3 years in a paired design. Recordings were characterized by bird species richness and by 14 complementary acoustic indices. By relating each index to seasonal, diurnal, climatic and anthropogenic factors, we show here that latitude, time of day and day of year each predict a substantial proportion of variation in key metrics of biophony—whereas anthropophony (speech and traffic) show less predictable patterns. Compared to pristine sites, the soundscape of urban green spaces is more dominated by technophony and less diverse in terms of acoustic energy across frequencies and time steps, with less instances of quiet. We conclude that the global soundscape is formed from a highly predictable rhythm in biophony, with added noise from geophony and anthropophony. At urban sites, animals experience an increasingly noisy background of sound, which poses challenges to efficient communication.</p>","PeriodicalId":18835,"journal":{"name":"Nature ecology & evolution","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144586652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lignin, the most recalcitrant biopolymer in wood, is mainly decayed through extracellular enzymatic and chemical processes initiated by white-rot fungi. However, the intracellular conversion of lignin decay products has been overlooked in the fungal kingdom. Here we integrate comparative genomic and phylogenetic analyses to understand the distribution and evolution of enzymes responsible for modifying lignin-related aromatic compounds—such as decarboxylases, hydroxylases, dioxygenases and other downstream ring-cleavage enzymes—that funnel carbon to central metabolism across the bacterial and the fungal kingdoms. We demonstrate that specific fungal lineages conserve these enzyme families, and that the abilities to enzymatically depolymerize lignin and catabolize lignin-related aromatic compounds are not necessarily coupled. Our analyses also reveal an expanded substrate specificity of aromatic ring-cleavage enzymes during fungal evolution, as well as a clade of extracellular enzymes among them, broadening the spatial range of these biochemical capabilities. Together, our results highlight a large diversity of fungal enzymes and hosts that warrant further investigation for inclusion into carbon cycling models and biotechnological applications for the conversion of aromatic compounds.</p>","PeriodicalId":18835,"journal":{"name":"Nature ecology & evolution","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144586651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find a statistically significant (<i>P</i> &lt; 0.05) fragmentation–resilience relationship in about 77% of fragmented forests, but the direction varies across biomes. In tropical and temperate forests, fragmentation is linked to increased local temperature and atmospheric dryness, resulting in a negative fragmentation–resilience relationship. Conversely, in boreal forests, fragmentation is associated with decreased atmospheric dryness and enhanced light resource, thereby increasing forest resilience. Our results reconcile competing hypotheses and highlight the importance of accounting for fragmentation when predicting shifts in ecosystem resilience under disturbances.

Combined comparative genetic and phylogenetic analyses further revealed that the X-T4SS gene clusters have been subject to degradation and had several loss events, while T6SS-i4 was inserted through independent gain events.
