Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.Using high‐resolution spatial data and a multi‐scale statistical framework, we disentangle plant co‐occurrence from true spatial associations across alpine communities in the French Alps. We discovered that local species associations are dependent on soil acidity and nitrogen rather than temperature. By building a global network from these associations,

Fungal Diversity in a Mountain Lake Is Explained by Weather Patterns
Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Fungi are an important component of aquatic ecosystems because of their multifaceted roles such as organic matter decomposition, nutrient cycling and energy transfer to higher trophic levels. Despite their importance, little is known about the diversity and ecological functions of fungi in mountain lakes in general and specifically for ...

An Adaptation To Life In Acid Through A Novel Mevalonate Pathway [PDF]
, 2016 Extreme acidophiles are capable of growth at pH values near zero. Sustaining life in acidic environments requires extensive adaptations of membranes, proton pumps, and DNA repair mechanisms.

Tetrathionate hydrolase from the acidophilic microorganisms
Frontiers in MicrobiologyTetrathionate hydrolase (TTH) is a unique enzyme found in acidophilic sulfur-oxidizing microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea. This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of tetrathionate to thiosulfate, elemental sulfur, and sulfate.

Goethite dissolution by acidophilic bacteria
Frontiers in MicrobiologyPrevious studies have reported the role of some species of acidophilic bacteria in accelerating the dissolution of goethite under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. This has relevance for environments impacted by acid mine drainage and for the potential bioleaching of limonitic laterite ores.
