Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The presence of microbial mats is often invoked to explain the good preservation of vertebrate tracks, because they can cover and biostabilize such structures. However, microbial influence on the sediment properties when the track is made and on the track characteristics has not been so thoroughly analysed.

Microbial mats in dinosaur ichnocoenoses
Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Until now, the significance of microbial mats in preservation of dinosaur tracks and in reconstructing the palaeoenvironment in which dinosaurs roamed was rarely studied. Dinosaur tracks are commonly found close to ancient aquatic bodies where moist sediment had once allowed footstep registration.

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This research examines the spatial and geochemical interactions between mat‐forming microorganisms and thalassinid shrimp in an intertidal flat situated on the shores of Willapa Bay, Washington, USA. The study serves as a contemporary analog for the relationships between mats and burrowing organisms in deep time.

Day-length is central to maintaining consistent seasonal diversity in marine bacterioplankton [PDF]
, 2010 Marine bacterial diversity is vast, but seasonal variation in diversity is poorly understood. Here we present the longest bacterial diversity time series consisting of monthly (72) samples from the western English Channel over a 6 year period (2003-2008)

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Thin ferruginous sandy crusts are common on top of sandstone beds in the Early Permian post‐glacial deposits of the Paraná Basin in southern Brazil. These crusts usually preserve wrinkle structures, suggesting that they might be a product of microbial mediation.

Spherulite in the modern aragonitic travertine stromatolite has a calcite core with exopolymers
Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Spherulites are spherical to ellipsoidal particles formed by various crystalline substances and can be abiotically synthesised in the laboratory. Among various spherulite types, spherulites composed of calcium carbonate are also found in various natural environments, but their abiotic or biotic origins are still controversial.

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT One of the largest wetlands on Earth, the Brazilian Pantanal contains roughly 10 000 natural lakes, about 1000 of which are hypersaline. In these environmentally stressful settings, animal life struggles to survive, while cyanobacteria form extensive mats.

The effects of environmental conditions on quorum sensing and community interactions in coral-associated bacteria [PDF]
, 2013 The coral holobiont contains diverse communities of bacteria that play a role in the maintenance of coral ecosystems, however little is known about the structure and conservation of the host-bacterial relationship.
