Long-Term Impact of the Largest Environmental Disaster in Latin America (Fundão Dam Failure) on Microbial Communities in Lakes of the Doce River Basin, Brazil. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
The collapse of the Fundão dam caused long‐term alterations in the microbiome of lakes in the Doce River basin, with microbial communities closely associated with heavy metals originating from the mining tailings. The findings also highlight potential microbial groups for biomonitoring and bioremediation efforts.

Population Structure of the Invasive Asian Tiger Mosquito, <i>Aedes albopictus</i>, in Europe. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is currently the most widespread invasive mosquito species in the world and poses a significant threat to human health. We genotyped 748 Ae. albopictus mosquitoes from locations across Europe and Asia (the native range) to examine population genetic structure and found evidence for multiple independent ...
