Long‐term changes to plankton communities in artificially heated lakes

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 10, Page 3029-3042, October 2025.
Abstract Increased surface‐water temperatures and nutrient enrichment are predicted to alter planktonic communities, impacting biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. While short‐term mesocosm studies have reported temperature‐ and nutrient‐driven effects, long‐term observations from natural systems remain limited.

Vegetation dominantly shapes the elevational patterns of archaeal and protistan communities and their ecological functions in the Hengduan Mountains, Tibetan Plateau

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 9, Page 2327-2341, September 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract While elevational patterns of soil bacterial and fungal communities in mountain ecosystems have been well documented, the assembly processes of soil archaeal and protistan communities, and their linkage with ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF), remain poorly understood ...

Multi-marker eDNA metabarcoding reveals significant eukaryotic biodiversity gaps in the Gulf of Gdańsk, Southeastern Baltic Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science
As climate change and human pressures intensify, advancing our understanding of biodiversity and ecological shifts in vulnerable regions, such as the Baltic Sea, is becoming increasingly important.

Impacts of Climate, Organic Management, and Degradation Status on Soil Biodiversity in Agroecosystems Worldwide

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2025.
Unsustainable farming, soil degradation, and climate change threaten the biodiversity of life within soils, which is essential for healthy ecosystems. However, the effects of sustainable farming strategies, such as organic agriculture, on soil biodiversity are still poorly understood. In this work, we assessed soil biodiversity status in agroecosystems

The Impact of Methane on Microbial Communities at Marine Arctic Gas Hydrate Bearing Sediment

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Cold seeps are characterized by high biomass, which is supported by the microbial oxidation of the available methane by capable microorganisms. The carbon is subsequently transferred to higher trophic levels.

Cultivation-independent analysis reveals a shift in ciliate 18S rRNA gene diversity in a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-polluted soil [PDF]

, 2017
Using cultivation-independent methods the ciliate communities of a clay-rich soil with a 90-year record of pollution by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) (4.5 g kg−1 PAH) were compared with that of a nonpolluted soil collected in its vicinity and ...

Radiolaria divided into Polycystina and Spasmaria in combined 18S and 28S rDNA phylogeny.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Radiolarians are marine planktonic protists that belong to the eukaryote supergroup Rhizaria together with Foraminifera and Cercozoa. Radiolaria has traditionally been divided into four main groups based on morphological characters; i.e.

Secondary Decomposers Meet Their Predators: Decomposition Stage and Substrate Quality Jointly Structure Microbial Brown Food Webs During Fungal Necromass Decay

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 18, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Mycelial residues, also known as fungal necromass, represent a substantial fraction of soil organic matter (SOM) pools in terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. Although microbial decomposers are increasingly recognised as key drivers of fungal necromass carbon stock formation, the diversity and composition of their microbial predators—and the ...

ParAquaSeq, a Database of Ecologically Annotated rRNA Sequences Covering Zoosporic Parasites Infecting Aquatic Primary Producers in Natural and Industrial Systems

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 6, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Amplicon sequencing tools such as metabarcoding are commonly used for thorough characterisation of microbial diversity in natural samples. They mostly rely on the amplification of conserved universal markers, mainly ribosomal genes, allowing the taxonomic assignment of barcodes.
