Summary: A generalized definition of monogamy relation for entanglement measures is provided, and a monogamy equality is presented based on the monogamy weight. The significance and advantages of these relations are further demonstrated using concurrence as an example. It is shown that monogamy relations can be recovered by considering multiple copies of states for every non-additive entanglement measure that violates the inequalities. Additionally, it is demonstrated that such relations for tripartite states can be generalized to multipartite systems.

Summary: This study suggests that the coevolutionary relationships between chewing lice, endosymbiotic bacteria, and birds are not independent, but the patterns vary depending on the analysis method used. Additionally, louse host-switching does not seem to affect bacterial strains.

Summary: This study investigates the olfactory recognition of seastar hosts by adult Zenopontoniasoror shrimps and the recruitment of their larvae. The results show that asterosaponins play a role in attracting the symbiotic shrimps and larvae are attracted by different species of seastars. This study provides the first chemical identification of an olfactory cue used by larvae of symbiotic organisms to locate their host for recruitment.

Summary: In symbiotic crustaceans, social monogamy is favored in species that inhabit small, simple hosts in high predation risk areas. The shrimp Chernocaris placunae was studied in the mantle cavity of the saddle oyster Placuna ephippium, with observations suggesting social and sexual monogamy in one study site and only social monogamy in another study site. Differences in host body size, abundance, and pollution levels may contribute to the observed variations in the mating system of C. placunae. The study highlights the importance of understanding how global changes impact the social behavior of marine organisms.

Summary: This study investigated the reproductive synchrony with the tidal cycle in two species of symbiotic estuarine shrimps. The results showed that larval release in A. estuariensis is synchronized with the spring tides of the rainy season, while mating occurs independently of the tidal cycle. In contrast, tidal variations influenced both the timing of larval release and mating in S. carvachoi. Osmotic stress appears to be the main selective pressure affecting the reproductive behavior of A. estuariensis, while both predation and osmotic stress may act on S. carvachoi.

Summary: This study investigated the potential functions of Deferribacterota in the intestine of Rimicaris kairei from the Central Indian Ridge. The results showed that these bacteria have diverse energy metabolism pathways and may assist their host in surviving under extreme conditions. It suggests a long-term coevolution between Deferribacterota and its host.

Summary: This study provides insight into the family-level organization of prehistoric societies during the Bronze Age. The research shows that life expectancy was low in the studied burial mound, with adult males living longer than females. By analyzing the genome data, a family tree spanning three generations was constructed, revealing the importance of biological relationships between male siblings in society and the patrilineal descent group membership.

Summary: The study found that non-monogamous respondents engage in sex more often to seek new experiences, boost self-esteem, guard their mate, have specific types of sex, or experience the thrill of the forbidden. Additionally, there are differences in reasons to engage in sex between men and women, some of which are related to relationship status while others are universal.

Summary: In this study, new monogamy relations based on concurrence were proposed, and their validity in three-qubit and four-qubit pure states were analyzed using squared negativity. The findings suggest that while the relations hold true in pure three-qubit states, they are not always valid in pure four-qubit states, with some specific classes exhibiting violations of monogamy relations. Analyses and numerical evidence were provided to support these conclusions.

Summary: In this study, we investigate the monogamy and polygamy relations related to quantum correlations for multipartite quantum systems in a unified approach. We demonstrate that the generalized monogamy and polygamy relations can be extended to other powers of the measure in weighted forms. Our results show that our weighted monogamy and polygamy relations are stronger than recently available relations. Detailed examples are provided to compare and confirm the superiority of our results in both scenarios.

Summary: This article proposes a symbiotic backscatter-NOMA system, where a backscatter device (BD) conveys its own information to two users by riding on the NOMA downlink signal. The BD adaptively adjusts its reflection coefficient to guarantee the successful decoding of the NOMA downlink signal and the backscatter signal at the two users, relying on their decoding requirements. The study shows that the optimal power allocations of the NOMA signal depend on different system parameters for different decoding requirements.

Summary: The lifelong relationship between the Hawaiian bobtail squid Euprymna scolopes and its microbial symbiont Vibrio fischeri offers a simplified model system for studying microbiome establishment and maintenance, involving precise molecular communication and the initiation of a specific relationship. The identification of a diketopiperazine as a signal molecule modulating the symbiosis highlights the importance of untargeted discovery efforts in host-microbe interactions. The study also suggests that multiple small molecules play a crucial role in establishing beneficial relationships between hosts and microbes.

Summary: This study examined the population genetics of the porbeagle shark at regional (south-east Pacific Ocean) and global scales using mitochondrial markers. Genetic analyses revealed two clusters in the south-eastern Pacific Ocean, with an effect of genetic identity on shark body size. Limited gene flow was found between hemispheres, but high gene flow within hemispheres, suggesting historical reproductive isolation and recent mixture among populations. The study emphasizes the importance of further research on population genomics and general biology of the porbeagle shark in order to implement efficient genetic monitoring programs.

Summary: Using the cox1 gene, this study evaluated the genetic variation of C. rogercresseyi in farmed Atlantic salmon in southern Chile, finding significant morphometric differences among sites but no genetic structure among farms. This suggests that C. rogercresseyi is panmictic along an extensive latitudinal range in southern Chile. Further research using more powerful markers is needed to confirm the genetic homogeneity of this parasite.

Summary: The study focused on shrimps belonging to the genus Lysmata Risso, 1816, collected from Madagascar during the 2010 Atimo Vatae expedition. Three new species were reported, with Lysmata malagasy being a newly discovered species, Lysmata lipkei showing an extended distribution range to Madagascar, and L. kuekenthali being reported for the first time in Madagascar. Additionally, the study suggested that L. hochi from the Caribbean Sea is a synonym of Indo-West Pacific L. kuekenthali, making the latter an alien species in the western Atlantic.

Summary: This study investigates the mating tactics of two symbiont species of shrimps, Alpheus estuariensis and Salmoneus carvachoi. The results show that Alpheus estuariensis exhibits social monogamy, while Salmoneus carvachoi is promiscuous. The different biological and ecological aspects of these species may explain the distinct tactics adopted by them.

Summary: This study reports the collection of two Alpheus christofferseni specimens from Pernambuco, Brazil, increasing the knowledge of the species distribution along the Brazilian coast. The specimens were found approximately five latitudinal degrees south of the species' type locality, and also expanded the known bathymetric distribution from shallow intertidal to approximately 51 m. Morphological variation notes are provided based on the new material, and the first sequence of the 16S ribosomal subunit gene for the Brazilian coast is provided and compared with congeners.
