TL;DR: It is shown that the diversity of food sources available to herbivorous surgeonfishes is directly linked with the genetic makeup of their enteric microbiota, and that the acquisition of metabolically distinct “Epulopiscium” symbionts in hosts feeding on compositionally varied algal diets is a key niche-partitioning driver in the nutritional ecology of herbivores.

TL;DR: The Red Sea is isolated geographically from the rest of the ocean and has a combination of high irradiance, high temperature, and high salinity that is unique among the oceans; it is asked whether it harbors endemic gene content, and results suggest that Baas Becking's hypothesis “everything is everywhere, but the environment selects” also applies to gene ortholog groups.

Red Sea SAR11 and Prochlorococcus Single-cell Genomes Reflect Globally Distributed Pangenomes

TL;DR: The results suggest that the prevalence of OGs in these surface ocean bacteria is largely cosmopolitan, with differences in population metagenomes manifested by differences in relative abundance rather than complete presence-absence of OG.
