Environmental RNA-Based Metatranscriptomics as a Novel Biomonitoring Tool: A Case Study of Glyphosate-Based Herbicide Effects on Freshwater Eukaryotic Communities. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Traditional morphology‐ and molecular‐based biodiversity surveys provide essential information on species composition and diversity, but they rarely provide information about the physiological states of organisms, which are key indicators of ecosystem health.

Environmental Factors, Not Biotic Competitive Interactions, Drive the Relative Abundance of Diatoms and Chlorophyta in the Coastal Areas of the Beibu Gulf: Evidence From 18S rDNA Metabarcoding and Partial Least Squares-Path Modeling Analysis. [PDF]
Using high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) analysis, a negative correlation was found between Bacillariophyta and Chlorophyta near the Dafeng River Estuary (DRE) and the Sanniang Bay (SNB) located in the Beibu Gulf, China. The partial least squares‐path modeling (PLS‐PM) analysis showed that both the differing responses of Chlorophyta and Bacillariophyta ...

Five-Year Time Series Reveals Short-Term Blooms of Planktonic Fungi in a Coastal Mediterranean Site. [PDF]
Fungal dynamics at this northwestern Mediterranean marine site were characterised by short‐term blooms during which fungal ASVs accounted for a high fraction (up to 46%) of eukaryotic reads. The fungal community was dominated by a small number of ASVs, mostly non‐exclusive to the Mediterranean Sea or the marine environment.

Exploring the Regional Diversity of Eukaryotic Phytoplankton in the English Channel by Combining High-Throughput Approaches. [PDF]
By combining flow cytometry and high‐throughput sequencing, we reveal seasonal and spatial variations in the size, composition, and diversity of phytoplankton in the English Channel, highlighting the dynamics of pico‐, nano‐, and microphytoplankton and environmental factors, with the Seine Bay as a hotspot of taxonomic and functional diversity ...

Trophic status and phytoplankton in Lake Bidighinzu [PDF]
From March 1988 to April 1989 a survey was carried out on the phytoplankton of Lake Bidighinzu, a hypertrophic reservoir in Northern Sardinia. The purpose of this work was to assess the general limnological conditions of the reservoir after a diversion ...
