Researchers have identified superparamagnetic macrophages in the livers of rock pigeons to be crucial for magnetic sensing. The finding uncovers an unexpected role for immune cells in sensory perception and may fundamentally change our understanding of animal navigation.

New paper out in @molbioevol.bsky.social 🧬🦠
We show phage toxin diversity in protective symbionts isn’t random—toxin families are linked to defense against different parasitoid species.
This suggests toxin diversification is a major force shaping the functional evolution of these microbes.

The repeated evolution of similar phenotypes, or convergent evolution, is widespread in nature, but there are few studies investigating the genetic mechanisms across wide evolutionary timescales. This...
