ABSTRACT Mammals are protected from fungal pathogens by two evolutionary pillars: adaptive immunity and elevated body temperature. Anthropogenic climate change is eroding this thermal barrier, while a concurrent decline in human basal body temperature accelerates convergence from both directions. Candida auris, a therm...

Microbial symbiosis is extremely common among metabolically coupled cells, and, presumably, gave rise to mitochondria. How such symbioses emerge, evolve and stabilize are unknown, especially in the prokaryotic domain, where endosymbioses are virtually nonexistent. Yet there is growing evidence suggesting that the eukar...
