Enhancing microbial predator-prey detection with network and trait-based analyses. [PDF]
MicrobiomeBackground Network analyses are often applied to microbial communities using sequencing survey datasets. However, associations in such networks do not necessarily indicate actual biotic interactions, and even if they do, the nature of the interactions ...

Identifying Potential Hosts of Short-Branch Microsporidia. [PDF]
Microb Ecol, 2021 Microsporidia are obligate parasites that are closely related to Fungi. While the widely known “long-branch” Microsporidia infect mostly metazoans, the hosts of “short-branch” Microsporidia are only partially characterized or not known at all.

Fungi and cercozoa regulate methane-associated prokaryotes in wetland methane emissions. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2022 Wetlands are natural sources of methane (CH4) emissions, providing the largest contribution to the atmospheric CH4 pool. Changes in the ecohydrological environment of coastal salt marshes, especially the surface inundation level, cause instability in the

Toward a common set of functional traits for soil protists [PDF]
, 2023 Protists are major actors of soil communities and play key roles in shaping food webs, community assembly, and ecosystem processes, yet their functional diversity is understudied. High-throughput sequencing data have revealed their ubiquity and diversity,

Differences in soil micro-eukaryotic communities over soil pH gradients are strongly driven by parasites and saprotrophs [PDF]
, 2016 A recent large-scale assessment of bacterial communities across a range of UK soil types showed that bacterial community structure was strongly determined by soil pH.
